Around 3:45 p.m., heavy rain flooded parts of Interstate 35 just south of downtown Kansas City, Missouri.
The heavy rain also flooded out a portion of Westport near the intersection of Westport Road and Mill. Some cars suffered flood damage. No injuries were reported.
Further east, the band of rain forced a delay of the Kansas City Royals game at Kauffman Stadium. The game resumed around 4:45 p.m.
41 Action News Meteorologist Jeff Penner says storms have moved out of the area, with skies clearing for the remainder of the evening.
Wow! Fortunately the thunderstorms are moving away from here . https://t.co/oEGYLifugC
