Kansas City is seeing flooding around the metro, plus downed trees and traffic crashes, after a "confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado" was reported in Raytown near the Truman Sports Complex.

Some two million people were under a flash flood warning in the two states as several inches of rain fell, trapping some in their cars.
