NOAA News Online (Story 1136)
The outbreak turned deadly when a tornado touched down at about 3:55 p.m. just south of Basehor in Leavenworth County, Kan. That tornado stayed on the ground for one-and-a-half hours, plowing through Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties in Kansas, Platte and Clay counties in Missouri before lifting off the ground in Ray County, Mo., northeast of Kansas City. The tornado was blamed for one death in Kansas City, Kan., after it passed near the Kansas Speedway at I-70 and I-435, and passed just east of the Woodlands race track. The tornado forced the temporary closure of Kansas City International Airport, where officials evacuated the control tower and guided travelers and others to tunnels for about 30 minutes.

ATSDR reviewed both water quality data and exposure information and determined that no harmful exposures to contaminated groundwater were likely to have occurred in the past, nor are they likely to occur either now or in the future. ...
