John Green, a worker with the City of Eudora, helps clean up storm damage at the Eudora City Cemetery, 2223 North 1420 Road, Tuesday, July 7, 2015.

Right as Eudora resident Dave Warmker heard Monday night’s tornado warning, he and his wife took a look outside and decided to grab their child and head for the crawl space under their home.

“The wind hit right as we were crawling under,” he said. “I don’t know if it was a tornado per se, it felt like straight-line winds to me, but it all happened so fast and it was so loud.”

After the storm passed and the couple crawled out from under their home, they were able to assess the damage to their property, Warmker said.

“Just about every tree I have has been damaged. I’ve got a 65-year-old maple tree out front that got completely leveled,” he said. “I’ll have to put up a bunch of new fencing, and my house will probably need a new roof.”

Monday night’s damage was caused by an EF1 tornado, according to a preliminary damage assessment Tuesday by the National Weather Service in Topeka.

A tornado warning was issued for the area at 5:15 p.m. Monday. An EF1 tornado is the second-lowest classification on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Enhanced Fujita scale, which estimates wind speeds based on damage produced by the storms. EF1 tornadoes produce 3-second wind gusts from 86 to 110 miles per hour, according to the NOAA scale.

The tornado touched down near the Wakarusa River just west of Eudora and moved east through the city, the National Weather Service said. Tree damage was widespread throughout the area.

Passing through Eudora and continuing east, the tornado followed Kansas Highway 10 into Johnson County before dissipating, the National Weather Service said.

Warmker, other Eudora residents and city workers spent much of Tuesday cleaning up tree limbs and other storm damage.

Considering the severe weather, Eudora City Manager Gary Ortiz said the area saw relatively little serious damage.

“We had no loss of life, no major injuries reported to us and property damage has been remarkably low. It’s mostly just tree damage,” he said.

Heavy rain also accompanied Monday’s storms, and nearly 3 inches of rain fell on Lawrence through Tuesday morning, according to the weather service.

On the Kansas University campus, Green Hall was closed Tuesday morning because of water damage and an electrical outage from Monday night’s heavy rains, according to a KU campus alert.

There also was some flooding inside the Burge Union, KU said, although that building remained open Tuesday.
