There wasn't much, if anything on reflectivity at the time. While there was no wind damage reported, Burlington did have a 61mph gust. A decent heat burst was recorded at both KITR (Burlington, CO) and KGLD (Goodland, KS), including a few other mesonet stations.
Pretty freakin' awesome if you ask me!
