A storm that swept through northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri early Thursday left downed trees and power outages in its wake.

The worst damage was being reported in Atchison, Kan., where
large trees were down and more than 4,000 people were without
power. The National Weather Service also reported some rail cars
and tractor-trailers were blown over by what is believed to be
straight-line winds.

Westar Energy reported about 4,300 homes without power in
Atchison Thursday morning and another 668 in Doniphan County.

KCP&L reported about 370 outages in St. Joseph and Platte City
areas.
