Video taken inside Kauffman Stadium during severe storms Tuesday
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Severe thunderstorms moved across the Kansas City area Tuesday afternoon. High winds and heavy rain hit both sides of the state line, along with multiple tornado warnings.
Video shared on the social media platform X by poster @QUINSWARTZ showed what the storm looked like inside Kauffman Stadium. The grounds crew has been putting in new sod in the outfield this week.
Outside the stadium, a light pole was knocked down and port-a-potties were blown over. At this time, no major damage has been reported at Kauffman or Arrowhead stadiums.
The storms have also left thousands of Evergy customers without power in the metro.
