Weather Blog Woodlands Surveillance 2003 and last updated 2021-05-04 11:42:26-04 Good morning bloggers, 18 years ago today Kansas City had a very bad tornado. It was close to an EF-4 tornado with nearly 200 mph winds, or possibly stronger. The tornado touched down Near Linwood, KS and then grew into a monster tornado near the Legend's, where the Nebraska Furniture Mart was still being built. The Woodland's Racetrack closed in 2008, but we got this incredible footage from their Surveillance camera showing the tornado as it was crossing the Legends and strengthening over Kansas City, KS. It ended up crossing the Missouri River and blasting neighborhoods in Gladstone and Liberty before lifting. Two people died in the storm. Here is a picture from the Woodland's Surveillance camera:
