Winds up to 70 mph ripped through the Kansas City metro area this weekend.
Trees littered the streets, and thousands were without power. According to KCP&L, more than 21,000 residents are without power.
They say 90 percent of residents should have power back by midnight, but some could be without it through Wednesday.
There are 1,200 workers out right now, including subcontractors and crews from surrounding states.
One of the harder hit areas was a neighborhood at 91st and Slater. Many people in Overland Park and across the metro said the storm sounded like a train. They could hear branches and debris hit their homes as they took cover.
Several homes in Hyde Park are also still without power on Monday. We're finding out KCP&L's plan to restore power to the neighborhood and others.
