Western JoCo Hit By Severe Storms
At approximately 7:49 a.m. Saturday, the National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for Western Johnson County.

Shortly after the storm cell moved through the Holden area reports of damage, power outage and downed lines were being received. Emergency crews and utility personnel responded to multiple calls of service.
