An NWS Storm Survey team found that an EF-2 tornado touched down in an open field southwest of Wayland, Missouri damaging trees and breaking windows. The tornado then moved east northeast over rural areas damaging trees. As the tornado approached Highway 27, it strengthened, causing EF-2 damage to power poles. The tornado hit a DOT facility, destroying doors and a salt shelter. When the tornado crossed the highway, a semi was overturned, causing one injury. The tornado crossed the Des Moines River into Iowa where it lifted. The peak estimated winds were 115 MPH.
Numerous streets flooded in Wayland. Highway 61 from south of Wayland to the Lewis County line was flooded in sections. The exact depth of water was unknown but portions of the road was closed.
Heavy rains caused some flooding at the Highway 27 and Highway 136 interchange just east of Wayland, MO during the morning of June 14. The flood waters were at least 6 inches deep.
Heavy rains caused the Fox River to flood a portion of Highway 27 just south of Wayland, MO during the early morning of June 15. The south bound lanes were closed to all traffic except semi-trucks due to the river flooding.
