Sunday night storms left many cleaning up debris outside of Udall.

The damage includes 5 barns that were destroyed, a house off K-15 lost it's roof, a boat was knocked off its trailer, and a small airplane was flipped upside down.

Many power poles were also blown over, wiping out power to the town of 800 for several hours. South Haven schools were canceled Monday, due to a power outage.

Despite the heavy damage and flying debris, no one was injured in the storm.

A crew from the National Weather Service toured the damage Monday and determined the storm that swept through is called a channeled microburst, with estimated winds 70-75 mph. NWS Meteorologist Chance Hayes says microbursts can be as dangerous as a low level tornado.

The storm system also spawned a weak brief tornado near the town of Milan. No damage was reported.
