Massive Super Bowl celebration impacts weather radar

• https://thehornnews.com, Associated Press

The party was so big on Sunday night, the huge amount of fireworks around the city appeared on local weather radar (seen below).

Schools in the area started calling off classes so students and staff can attend "The Chiefs Kingdom Champions Parade," set for 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. Officials announced the celebration Sunday night, shortly after the Chiefs defeated San Francisco 31-20. The festivities will include a rally at Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, shortly after the parade ends.

A newly installed sign inside Union Station proclaimed the Chiefs "World Champions!" Among those lining up to take a picture were Mark and Karie Teetor, of the St. Louis area, who described a scene of pandemonium and dancing as they watched the game with friends.

"I was crying pretty much," Karie Teetor said.

Her husband said he was just happy to see the Chiefs in the Super Bowl after a 50-year drought.

"To win is icing on the cake," he added.
