Salina storm brings 100 mph winds, golf ball-sized hail and downed limbs on Sunday

Tree limbs came down Sunday evening as winds as high as 100 mph accompanied storms rolling through Salina.

According to Vanessa Pearce, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service in Wichita, that high wind was recorded at the Salina Regional Airport.

The Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning shortly after 6 p.m.

Hail and rain also a concern during Salina storm Sunday

Wind wasn't the only danger facing Salina, as Pearce confirmed that golf-ball sized hail was also recorded.

That hail was heard hitting the metal roof at Tony's Pizza Events Center by friends, family, student and more shortly before 6 p.m. while the names of graduates of Salina High School South were being read at a commencement ceremony.

Finally, the storm produced "excessive rainfall," prompting the weather service to also issue a flash flood warning just before 7 p.m. for the area as 2 to 3 inches of rain had already fallen and an additional 1 to 2 inches was expected to fall later in the evening and night.

That warning was scheduled to expire at 11:30 p.m.
