Two rounds of severe weather pummeled Kansas City and the surrounding region between 5 pm Thursday May 1st and 3 am Friday May 2nd. The first wave of severe thunderstorms began shortly after 5 pm 5/1/2008. These storms developed along an advancing dry-line, that stretched from northwest Missouri into eastern Kansas. This first wave of activity produced severe weather almost immediately, as the storms that formed quickly became supercells. These supercells produced mainly large hail reports. However, there were two confirmed EF0 tornadoes. One touched down in extreme northwest Cass near Belton, and the other tornado was reported 2 miles east of Plattsburg in Clinton county.
