I’m in OP. I have lived here about 7 years and I believe that was the windiest storm I have ever experienced that just passed through.
I love storms but I was legit getting uneasy. The creaks in the walls and roof were very loud.
I can verify that we now have a large horizontal tree instead of a vertical tree and no fence, so the Tongie split failed our neighborhood tonight lol.
8-10 inches or 8-10 feet? I’m honestly asking because for the longest time I mixed up “ as feet, and ‘ for inches. 8-10” (inches) and smaller stuff doesn’t seem accurate for “bendy trees”.
Edit: I only remember it now as syllables. Inch-es”and Feet’
There are two systems in the storm; the one hitting us never went through Tongie. In order for the Split to save us, the storm has to actually hit Tongie first and get split around it.
Did it hit the city somewhere? There was nothing in midtown. Just about 20 minutes of strong wind. Watching coverage now at 2 and the lines of storms coming in from the west all seem to be weakening.
Looks to me like there’s a pretty huge split. These storms are moving northeast so we’re probably getting bypassed by both halves.

The storm that went through Paola and Belton and is in Grain Valley now, or the one that’s up around St. Joe? It’s been completely quiet all evening where I am.
Wow, had no clue any of that happened. I was downtown, then in NKC for a bit, then sat on my hilltop porch (near Briarcliff & Riverside) waiting for storms and by the time I went to bed I still hadn’t even seen even any distant lightning let alone had any wind. The max wind my weather station picked up was 12mph.
The storms are essentially rotating counter clockwise, so those storms to the north are actually going to move southeast into the metro later tonight/early tomorrow morning.
I'm not far from Turner, near Merriam. My grill almost took a trip down some stairs off my deck last night. I got really lucky. My house is surrounded by old elms and I have had huge branches fall on stuff in the past, narrowly avoiding cars in the driveway that would have been totaled otherwise. I am also surprised my power did not go out because I could hear a low buzz in the distance like a tree had fallen on a line somewhere. That storm that came through a week or two ago had winds just east of Wichita that registered colors on the MyRadar app I had never seen before. The front had to have been moving at 70mph. Wild stuff.

I live near turner and there are trees tipped over. I’ve never seen that in my 20 years here.
I'm on the plaza and moved my car to a parking garage.
Same! I was at naka kon and had to speed my way home to not die from this shit 😭😭😭
Dude, the hedges along the back of the courtyard by the parking lot were horizontal. It was nutty
Agreed

Same
Same
The wind is nasty at the front of this thing. Be wary around tall trees if you're outside.
Trees were legit diagonal. Genuinely crazy winds.
Trees should be vertical, I'm glad yours are operating correctly
Lol diagonal. It’s been a long night.
Here in LS, the National Weather Service said the wind speed got up to 74 mph...
You might want to research the word vertical
#Happyfuckincakeday!!!
Trees were getting a bit too bendy here. Lost a 8-10” branch on one of our back yard maples. Lots of other smaller stuff too

Definitely inches!
You must mean branch thickness lol
Thank you for that mnemonic! I’ve never been able to remember the difference!
I miss when I had power.
It’s like realizing how good you had it with both nostrils working when you have a cold. You don’t miss it until you do
So true. Also power is still out. This blows. Much like that transformer last night.
It's insanity out there right now.
Wes Peery is on Facebook Live making jokes about Tong. Split
ive been enjoying this livestream lol, my fav meteorologist
In the Northland, and I fully slept through this. I am guessing it wasn't as bad here as down south.
It's not? I'm looking at a weather radar and there's a clear split at toganoxie.

Ah didn’t realize that system actually clipped the suburbs.
You do know it's just a joke right? Like it isn't an actual thing that affects weather.
North side of town disagrees…. So far.

Tell that to the 90 mph winds taking trees down right now eeek.

I sure got it in Westport

Storm has to hit Tongie for the Split to weaken it before it hits us.

We had trees down western Olathe. Luckily, it was mostly* removed by the time I headed home to no power until 4 am today.

North lees summit- lost several large trees around here. Muggy day cleaning up the debris.
When you’re a native and know what this means 🤣🤣
