Large hail and heavy rain dominated the weather across central and eastern Kansas on Tuesday evening.

Hail as big as grapefruit was reported Kansas and areas from Manhattan to Emporia reported more than 3 inches of rain. Many areas of Sedgwick County including the city of Wichita reported golf ball size hail and over 2,5 inches of rain.

Many areas of the state were under flood watches and warnings on Wednesday morning.

Winds approaching hurricane force raked communities from Nebraska and Missouri to Texas.

Uprooted trees, downed power lines and roof damage were reported in parts of Texas and Oklahoma. No deaths or injuries were reported.

The nation’s midsection is facing another day of foul weather after a series of storms brought huge hail and high winds, but not as many tornadoes as had been feared.

The Nation Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said 60 million people from the

Gulf Coast to the Midwest east to North Carolina and Virginia should be alert for strong storms on Wednesday. The nastiest weather was predicted for an area from Houston north into part of Iowa.
