BELTON, Mo. — Residents in Belton, Missouri, woke up to significant storm damage Saturday after a powerful storm tore through the area Friday night, leaving behind downed trees, damaged homes and hundreds still without power.
At Hearthstone Crossing Duplexes, part of several roofs were completely torn off and a lot of debris was left scattered across the neighborhood.
City officials said strong winds and possible tornado Friday — though not yet confirmed by the National Weather Service — ripped siding and roofs off homes, brought down power lines and scattered debris across the city, especially along Colbern Drive.
The Belton city manager confirmed a tree and limb drop-off site will open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday for residents impacted by the storm.
The site is located next to the Public Works building at 800 Markey Road.
Crews are also continuing to work to restore power and clear roadways as conditions improve.
