Numerous strong to severe thunderstorms ravaged portions of central, south-central and southeast Kansas during the overnight hours of June 26th. Thunderstorms initially developed over Nebraska and northern Kansas during the afternoon and evening hours of the 26th. This activity then surged southeast into an increasingly moist and unstable airmass, producing widespread damaging winds, along with areas of very heavy rainfall, which resulted in areas of flooding and flash flooding.
