Very severe thunderstorm pummeled north-central Kansas all afternoon and evening of July 7th.  This was the second major severe thunderstorm event of the week.Two tornadoes were reported with the thunderstorms.  One was reported near Scottsville in Mitchell county and the other between Palco and Damar in Rooks county.  No damage was reported in either instance.The worst damage occurred with the passage of afternoon thunderstorms in the Beloit area.  An 89 mph wind gust was recorded at the local radio station.  A portion of the roof at the Super 8 motel was ripped away.  The North Central Kansas Technical College sustained damage to several buildings.  A couple of dozen homes in the Beloit and the surrounding area sustained at least some damage.  Before the storm reached Beloit, it was responsible for a swath of wind driven hail near Burr Oak.  Trees were stripped clean of leaves by the hail and wind north of town.  Windows were blown out of the north and west sides of one farm house.  Fortunately the wheat crop had been cut already. Extremely heavy rains resulted in runoff which covered Kansas Highway 128 for a time.Softball size hail was reported in Woodston in Rooks county and at Kirwin in Phillips county.  Heavy rains and the resultant runoff in eastern Rooks county caused flash flooding along and near Paradise Creek.  Several rural roads were washed out and water was flowing over Kansas Highway 18 for a time.  Power poles were snapped at several locations in Rooks county and there were numerous large trees damaged.
