Shawn Allen's home near Northeast 110th Street and North Skiles Avenue off its foundation early Friday morning during a storm.

Two small tornadoes from an overnight line of thunderstorms left hundreds of Kansas City-area homes and businesses damaged, destroying some.

The National Weather Service said a high-end EF2 tornado -- wind speeds between 111-135 mph -- hit around 2 a.m. Friday, cutting a 75-foot-wide swath along a roughly two-mile stretch of north Kansas City near Liberty.

Investigators determined a second tornado hit a little farther south in Gladstone around the same time, though they've yet to classify the size of the twister. Teams also were on the ground in Independence to determine if damage there was caused by a third tornado spawned on the leading edge of what the weather service has characterized as a bow echo.

Allen's only injury was a sore knee. His dog -- who firefighters later rescued from the debris -- wasn't hurt.

When his bedroom door flew open, he got up and shut his bedroom window. Then his house lifted off its foundation, throwing him against a wall, Allen said.

He got out of his bedroom, ran down the hall and slipped and fell in the kitchen.

"At that time, some lightning flashed, and I was able to see that the side of the house was completely gone, so I was able to get out of the house at that point and get outside and whatnot and run over the neighbor's house," he said.

Later, firefighters got his dog out of the house.

"After all that, the fire department was able to get the dog out," Allen said. "They had to jack up the front of the house and whatnot to get her out. She was trapped under the front staircase, where she normally sleeps."

Dean White lives in the same area as Allen. He woke up when his house started shaking at about 2:30 a.m.

"I couldn't even get to the basement by the time it hit," White said. "I saw debris flying about 100, 200 feet in the air."

Deanna Coca's father was out of town, so she and her siblings headed to her mother's room when the storm hit, she said.

"I walked into my mom's room to see what was happening, and then it just happened, and the window flew in open, and I got slammed against a wall, my sister got hit with a little bit of glass and my mom got cut," Coca said.

Her mother underwent emergency surgery Friday and received 54 stitches, but she was expected to recover from her injuries.
