NORBORNE, Mo. (AP) -- A storm that swept across northwest Missouri has damaged buildings and toppled trees and power lines in the small town of Norborne.
The extent of the damage from last night's storm was not immediately known. No injuries have been reported.
Norborne is about an hour's drive northeast of Kansas City in Carroll County and has less than 800 residents.
Mike July, a National Weather Service meteorolgist in Pleasant Hill, said straight-line winds moved through Norborne at 74 mph and above, knocking down walls on one building and damaging roofs on others.
Norborne and several other communities suffered tree damage.
Hail as large as golf balls also fell as the storm that originated in northeast Kansas moved southeast.
