Belton Tornado: No Casualties, Quick Recovery

0:00It's April 18th. From your city to your ears, this is Kansas News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cori with the story. A tornado ripped through Belt and Friday afternoon, clocking in as an EF-1 with peak winds hitting 110 mph, straight from the National Weather Service Report. Survey teams mapped out its two-mile path, curving from Belt and Cemetery just south of the high school and wrapping up Southwest of Missouri Route. 58 in Interstate 49. Thankfully, no one got hurt or lost their life in the chaos, which kept the damage focused on property without turning tragic. The preliminary survey dropped Saturday, giving folks a clear picture of the destruction and helping crews prioritize cleanup. Belt and's bouncing back quick, a reminder how fast these storms move, but how prepared we stay.
