In the meantime I've been re-reading Last Exit by Max Gladstone because Ruthanna Emrys and Anne Pillsworth are starting a re-read discussion and I'm reminded that it was awesome and that I felt like there was a lot I was missing when I read it the first time, so just refreshing my memory to be able to keep up with the discussion.

Seems like mainly tree damage in Lenexa (around 95th and Lackman). I personally did not have much, if any, but doing the daily walk with the dog there are a lot of trees in the neighborhood that have major sections having broken down. We did not lose power.
