If you ever come upon a scene such as this - STAY AWAY! STAY UPWIND!

Anhydrous Ammonia is widely used by farmers in the field and under proper care and operations it can be safe and effective. Anhydrous means without water and is stored under pressure.

In the event of an accidental release, the Anhydrous Ammonia may appear as a cloud of smoke. Anhydrous ammonia is caustic and causes severe chemical burns. Body tissues that contain a high percentage of water, such as the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract, are very easily burned.

NEVER assume you can get through this cloud in an attempt to stop the leak or maybe save someone that has been found unconscious in the area of the tank - STAY AWAY, CALL 911 and STAY UPWIND.

Showers moving north along the Kansas-Missouri state line, into northwest Missouri, will persist through much of the morning, adding to local flooding issues that are already ongoing. But, this afternoon strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop ahead of a cold front that will sweep through the region tonight. There will be a threat of damaging winds and isolated tornadoes with the strongest of the afternoon and evening storms, generally in areas from east central Kansas into central and northern Missouri. The threat for severe storms will quickly diminish this evening as the sun sets, but continued moderate to heavy rain from any lingering storms will likely lead to more flooding issues overnight.
