| Episode Narrative | A line of thunderstorms moved southeast across much of north central and east central Kansas during the day on May 9th. There were numerous reports of large hail and sporadic wind damage reports along with a few wind gusts in excess of 70 mph. Storm chasers also documented a small tornado near Miltonvale. That storm went on to produce another mainly rain wrapped tornado with minor tree damage in southwest Clay County. |
| Event Narrative | A storm chaser had photos of a small tornado that was on the ground for approximately 2 minutes just WSW of Miltonvale. No damage was noted or reported. |
