As the 2000 growing season came to a close, north-central Kansas continued in the grip of a year-long drought.  Beginning in the fall of 1999, the combination of the above normal temperatures and significantly lower than normal rainfall had produced lower crop yields, placed stress on livestock and literally "dried up" pastures.  The short moisture profile last fall caused the germination of the spring wheat crop to be poor, and very little snowfall during the winter only compounded the problem.  Increased moisture in the spring was offset by very dry conditions from late June through September and searing temperatures.  Several communities recorded 20 days in August of temperatures over 100 degrees.  Again this fall, farmers will find the soil moisture very limited and face the reality of another poor yield next year should significant rains not fall.

Extreme heat gripped west central Missouri through the last ten days of August.  High temperatures in the Kansas City area climbed above 90 degrees each day, and topped 100 on several days.  The hottest days were the 28th and 31st, when temperatures reached 105 at Kansas City International Airport, and as high as 107 in the Kansas City metro area.  A weak front on August 29th provided a break in the high temperatures for some, but there was no real relief as oppressive humidity kept afternoon heat indices above 100.  The extreme heat claimed the life of a 68 year old Kansas City man.  The heat wave continued into September across all of northern and western Missouri.

Early morning lightning bolts struck a city elementary school and church.  The lightning strike hit a chimney, shot through the roof through the attic, and into a fourth grade classroom.  The strike took out one side of the chimney, scattering bricks on the roof.  Another lightning strike exploded one of the top-most stone turrets, sending heavy chunks onto the street and sidewalk below.  When the 500 lb. structure exploded, it also left holes in the roof, allowing substantial amounts of water to soak into the interior.  Debris and plaster-soaked water filled the pipes in the church's 70 year old Moeller organ.
