            A swath of straight-line wind damage
            occurred near a mesovortex that developed
            within a line of thunderstorms on the
            evening of May 6, beginning near Piper in
            Wyandotte County. Several trees were downed
            along a path from Donahoo Road to Polfer
            Road, crossing 123rd Street between Polfer
            Road and Marxen Road. In this area, several
            larger trees and limbs were downed, with a
            couple uprooted. The swath of winds
            progressed toward Wolcott Drive and Tontine
            Road, where several trees were downed,
            snapped, or uprooted. A private weather
            station reported a 60-mph gust in this area
            at this time, but stronger winds were likely
            present given the nature of the tree damage.
            The damaging winds crossed the Missouri
            River and reached Missouri State Highway 45
            north of Waldron, where multiple small trees
            or limbs were damaged as well. No
            discernible damage was noted to the
            northeast of this area. Damage along the
            path was all directed to the north-
            northeast, which corroborates with radar
            data from the Terminal Doppler Radar at
            TMCI. This straight-line wind event preceded
            the tornado that eventually developed near
            Hoover in Platte County a few minutes later.
