The storms moved through Kansas City, Parkville, and Shawnee during the evening hours of October 14, tracking across the metro in a few hours' time. Thunderstorm wind was the hazard the National Weather Service tracked all evening, and reports came in from well before 7:20 PM through after 9:30 PM as the activity worked across the area.
Parkville saw the strongest wind recorded anywhere on this page: a 75 mph gust estimated at 7:22 PM near 3 E Waldron, logged from a private weather sensor. Not long before that, a social media report at 1 NW Parkville noted a large tree down near Route 45 and National Drive, with the time estimated from radar. Shawnee's strongest gust came in lower, 63 mph near 2 SE Bonner Springs at 9:13 PM, with that time corrected based on radar. Kansas City had no measured gust on record but logged five separate damage reports between 7:18 PM and 9:37 PM, tree limbs and wires down near Merriam Drive, in the Briarcliff area, near Lawndale Avenue, near 80th and Main, and near The Paseo, each timed from radar or social media rather than a direct measurement.
Shawnee's one damage report on file is the same Merriam Drive limb-and-wire report logged for Kansas City, timed to 7:18 PM. Beyond the 75 mph gust and the one tree report, Parkville has no additional damage logged for the day. Taken together, the record shows a wind-driven storm that moved across all three towns, with Parkville carrying the highest gust and Kansas City carrying the most individual reports on the ground.

A 75 mph gust is well past the 58 mph line the National Weather Service uses for severe thunderstorm wind, and that is the kind of speed that gets under shingle tabs and starts the kind of damage you cannot always see from the driveway. If you're in Kansas City, Parkville, or Shawnee, it's worth taking a slow look at your roof and the ground around your house this week.
Walk the yard and look for broken limbs, loose shingles, or granules collecting in the gutters and at the downspouts.
From the ground, scan each roof slope for shingles that look lifted, creased, or missing, and check vent covers and flashing for obvious dents or gaps.
Take photos of anything that looks off: a bent gutter, a dented vent, a tree limb that came down near the house, even if you're not sure it's roof-related.
If you see a stain starting on a ceiling or ridgeline that looks uneven, treat that as worth a professional look rather than waiting on it.
When you talk to your insurer, describe what you saw and when the storm came through, and let the adjuster make the call on what's covered.
