A significant severe weather episode developed across portions of Kansas on the evening of June 15th, 2009, into the early morning hours of June 16th. Supercells developed in the warm sector across South Central and Central Kansas as a warm front moved to the north into northern Kansas. This event was highlighted by several tornado touchdowns across Butler County, Kansas, that fortunately produced little damage. The storms eventually turned into prolific wind damage producers as the overnight continued, as the high precipitation supercells moved into Hutchinson and Wichita.  This was the second time within a two week period (the other, June 7th, 2009) that Hutchinson received significant wind damage, with some areas getting hit from both storms.

Reported by: Emergency Manager

Damaging winds estimated to be 90 mph moved across most of Hutchinson causing extensive damage.  One of the worst hit areas was an area that was hit 8 days before by mircoburst winds in South Hutchinson (see June 7th, 2009), including damage to the same bus manufacturing plant, motel and storage facility.  This set of storms finished what the previous storms started, removing more walls and larger portions of the roof.  Three of the four buildings at a motel were considered a total loss.   Downtown Hutchinson also received significant damage, including removing a 100 foot by 30 foot section of roof to one business, and a portion of a roof to a loft.  A warehouse downtown suffered so much damage that it had to be demolished.  A power works building lost three of its overhead doors and an animal shelter had some roof damage. A large number of power of poles were also knocked down, especially near the state fairgrounds, where poles had to replaced from 17th to 30th Avenues on Plum Street.   30 to 40 percent of the city had tree limb damage.  The storm knocked out power to 7300 people.
