A round of storms around noon left it's mark across the Ozarks.  Weather spotters are reporting half-inch hail in the Humansville area, along with large limbs down and a cedar tree uprooted at the Circle of Hope Girls Ranch.

In Eldorado Springs, several trees were reported down, along with power outages.

Paul Byer from Morrisville tells KTTS Assistant News Director Nancy Simpson that siding and insulation has been ripped off his house with high winds, rain and hail.

The National Weather Service has part of the Ozarks under a severe thunderstorm watch until 8 tonight.  Greene, Christian and Webster counties are included in the watch.
