http://www.weather.gov/ict/April_2_3_2015_WindEvent

Severe thunderstorms developed rapidly and became supercellular on the evening of April 2nd across far southeast Kansas and produced two brief tornadoes in Labette County. As the initial storms continued to move southeast into Oklahoma and Missouri Thursday night, a severe thunderstorm developed near the border of Colorado and Kansas. This severe thunderstorm continued to develop and intensify across central Kansas and took on bow echo-like characteristics. This bow-echo later produced damaging straight-line winds and large hail across much of central and south central Kansas. As the bow-echo approached Sedgwick and Harvey counties, channeled microbursts developed and caused significant straight-line wind damage.
