Those same dismal conditions will extend from the gulf coast to the great lakes and Central Texas has already taken an especially hard hit. A tornado ripped through Brian College station leaving residential areas in tatters and brought enough rain to cause widespread flooding that shut down major roadways and swamped city streets. In kansas city it was a dark and gloomy area over kauffman stadium. Not ideal for the baseball game between the royals and white sox. That was postponed but not for lack of optimism from some fans who stuck it out with that tiny hope they might see action. The scene in more like the middle of winter. Hail piled so high it looked like snow. Several tornadoes also were reported throughout colorado causing Major Property damage and knocking down power poles. And you may recall that monster tornado that we showed you at this time yesterday, well, that touched down just a mile outside of solomon, kansas, the National Weather service now says it was an ef4 on the scale of tornado strength. It was packing winds of 180 miles an hour and measured half a mile across. For millions of americans the Stormy Weather is not over yet.
