Metro driver describes tree that fell on car within inches of striking him
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. –The National Weather Service confirmed two tornadoes on Tuesday, June 3, including an EF-1 in Independence with winds up to 100 miles per hour. The path of that tornado started near Truman Road and MO-291 in Independence and continued on for more than 3 miles. There were no injuries, but one man was lucky to have escaped unharmed. Two tornadoes touched down Tuesday at Truman Sports Complex and in Independence: NWS Paul Chastain estimates he was around six to eight inches away from a very different story. For Chastain lately, it's certainly been pouring. His wife is in the hospital, he's living in a hotel after pipes burst in a neighbor's apartment, sending water gushing into his apartment. Then Tuesday afternoon, life came crashing down on top of him. He'd driven to his son's home on Ellison Way in Independence to pick up a package. 'So I got my package and I was backing down and one of those weather alerts came over my phone, so I stopped to listen to it,' Chastain said. It warned a tornado was possibly heading his way. Little did he know it had just formed about a block over. 'So I was sitting there and all of the sudden I hear crunch and I thought something had fallen around me until I heard my glass blow out of my side rear windows and I thought, 'Oh heck,'' Chastain said. A large section of the tree, at least a foot in diameter, fell from high above directly onto the back of his Ford Flex. Chastain had to crawl out the passenger door. The National Weather Service preliminary damage survey says it was an EF-1 tornado up to 50 yards wide that continued on for 3.75 miles to Independence Station, where it blew the carport off one mobile home. No one was hurt there despite pieces of the shrapnel sent through a neighbor's home. Pedestrian waiting for bus in critical condition after being hit by car Back where the tornado first touched down, Chastain can only think about how close he came to the tree crushing the part of the car where he was sitting. 'If I had been 6-8 inches closer, I would have been injured or killed. So God protected me yesterday, for some reason I have no idea what it is,' he said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Rainfall totals in the Wichita area break a 94-year-old record. How much fell?
Heavy rains caused flooding in the Wichita area on Tuesday, and set a June 3 daily record for rainfall totals that have been recorded since 1888. Here is a look at how much rain Wichita got and how it compares to other days: The rain started just after 10 p.m. Monday and stopped after 10 p.m. Tuesday. Over those two days, 2.95 inches of rain fell, with 2.47 inches of it falling on Tuesday. Other significant, two-day measurements of rain in the Wichita area were 6.21 inches of rain recorded at Beechcraft by Textron Aviation on Greenwich, 5.18 inches at Jabara Airport and 5.98 inches in Towanda. Bryan Baerg, a National Weather Service meteorologist based in Wichita, said the roughly 4 inches of rain that fell over the Memorial Day weekend saturated the ground. Then, this hard rainfall in a short amount of time was too much for drainage systems to keep up with. The 2.47 inches of rain on Tuesday is the June 3 record, surpassing the 1.67 inches set in 1932. The measurement was taken at the Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport. Here is when Wichita had its last five rainfalls of 2 or more inches. 2.32 inches on May 25 3.13 inches on Nov. 2, 2024 4.24 inches on Oct. 25, 2023 2 inches on July 5, 2023 2.27 inches on Nov. 4, 2022 But none of those are close to the top daily rainfalls in Wichita. Here are the Top 5: 10.31 inches on Sept. 12, 2008 6.82 inches on June 8, 1923 6.03 inches on April 22, 1944 5.79 inches on Oct. 31, 1998 5.78 inches on Sept. 26, 1999 Wichita has had 15.48 inches of rain so far this year, compared to an average of 13.15 inches that Wichita typically sees by this time of the year. Wichita averages 34.31 inches of rain a year. There are chances of rain later this week and weekend, but it will 'definitely (be) lighter amounts than what we saw yesterday,' Baerg said. The heaviest of the possible rains is late Thursday and into Friday morning, when rainfall could be in the one to two inch range. Up to an inch more is possible over the weekend, he said.

Weather Aware Friday through Sunday for strong to severe storms
Tonight, any showers and storms will cease, leaving a partly cloudy sky. It will be mild and muggy, with lows in the mid-60s to lower 70s. On Thursday, warm and humid conditions are expected as high pressure lingers off the East Coast, pumping tropical air into Alabama. The upper-level low will move eastward, away from Alabama, resulting in partly cloudy skies in the Birmingham area, with a slight chance of a pop-up shower or storm. High temperatures will rise into the middle 80s, and the heat index will reach the lower 90s. Weather Aware from Friday through Sunday for Strong to Severe Storms A cold front will approach Alabama on Friday, accompanied by an upper-level wave, triggering scattered showers and storms. It is possible we could see a cluster of storms (MCS) moving across the state during the late afternoon and evening. There is a Level 1 to 2/5 Risk for severe weather across Central Alabama, with the highest threat north of I-20. The main threat will be gusty winds. It will be hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s and a heat index in the 90s before the storms arrive. Bring your rain gear to the Steel City Smooth Jazz Fest. Weekend Outlook: The cold front will stall north of Alabama in Tennessee this weekend. A series of upper-level waves will track along the front each day, bringing a cluster of strong to severe storms (MCS) across Alabama on Saturday. The SPC has placed Central Alabama under a Level 2/5 Slight Risk for severe storms involving gusty winds. Highs will be in the middle 80s. Another MCS is likely on Sunday, maintaining the same weather pattern. These storms could be strong to severe, featuring gusty winds and highs in the lower 80s. Additionally, Saharan dust could move into the southeastern U.S. this weekend, causing the sky to take on a milky hue and creating beautiful sunrises and sunsets each day.
