From the afternoon until late in the evening of the 22nd, severe thunderstorms struck South-Central & Southeast Kansas. The severe thunderstorms were prolific wind producers. The most violent thunderstorms roared through South-Central Kansas, more specifically Kingman and Sumner Counties, with vicious winds that not only caused widespread tree, power line and power pole damage, but tore the roofs off a high school and elementary school in Argonia, located in extreme West-Central Sumner County.
Late that evening, another severe thunderstorm hit Russell County with hail as large as ping-pong balls.
