The storms quickly became severe after 6pm over far southern Kansas which produced a few tornadoes, very large hail up to the size of baseballs, and flooding over far southeast Kansas during the night time hours. The tornado that tracked across southwest Chautauqua county was rated an EF1 as it produced damage to outbuildings north of Hewins.
