This series of storms is one that will be remembered for quite some time for its hail, crop damage, and structure damage to many communities in Northwest Missouri.   I watched the whole thing unfold from high on a hill just southeast of Evona, Missouri.  As seen in the images below I had a ring side seat to the storm as it passed by just a few miles to my west moving basically from Northwest to Southeast.   At times it looked like it was moving straight south.    I was lucky because I would not have been able to get any such pictures had I been right underneath the storm.  I did get heavy rains and strong winds but nothing like they got in places like Maryville, Sheridan, Stanberry, King City, and other places along that corridor.

As is evident below there were actually multiple storm cells moving out of Nebraska and Iowa into Northwest Missouri.  What I have captured in my images is the first storm cell that moved through and eventually dissipated near the Lawson - Marshall area.  The other storms cells were more long-live and arrived after dark leaving no light for photography.  The cell that is documented below was an isolated cell passing through the area at around 7:30 p.m. CDT while the second round was more of a derecho type storm passing through later at around 9:15 pm. CDT and impacting St. Joseph at around 9:30 p.m. CDT.  It was this second round derecho event that inflicted most of its damage towards the west where the bow echo was at its strongest.

One thing very noticeable to me was that the birds were very active when these storms were approaching.  I could hear several birds chirping as if very excited including some exclusively night birds such as the Whip-poor-will.  They quieted when the storms arrived.

Below are some images that I captured while the event was in progress.  I am located near Evona, Missouri with a view of the storms looking to my north and on around to southwest.
