KCFD is waiting for the Red Cross to arrive to help the people who live there.

Some downed power lines were also reported in Kansas City early Wednesday morning after the overnight storm.

Some lines were down near that same apartment complex that had the roof blown off.

Crews worked to block part of a road in that area.
