Midwest storms cause damage

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Severe thunderstorms swept through the Midwest, felling trees, cutting power and spawning tornadoes that destroyed homes and overturned cars.
Crews worked to restore power to thousands of residents late Sunday, after storms that caused at least one traffic death and a drowning.
At least six tornadoes touched down south of Wichita, Kan., destroying three homes and damaging more than a dozen others in Sumner County. Several funnel clouds were reported in Missouri.
A man drowned when large waves on Truman Lake, about 70 miles southeast of Kansas City, swamped his boat. His body was found along the shore Sunday, officials said.
A 4-year-old girl was killed in a multiple-car wreck Saturday when a car struck the vehicle she was in, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
About 110,000 customers in Kansas and Missouri lost power during the storm, and many remained without electricity Sunday.
"We've had extensive damage. But it's not irreparable," said director Virginia Lewis. Residents were expected to be able to return today.
In Michigan, severe thunderstorms spawned funnel clouds Sunday in the state's Lower Peninsula. No injuries were immediately reported.
In Texas, heavy rain flooded Houston streets and forced flight delays Sunday at Bush Intercontinental Airport. Almost 7,000 people were without power.
