Kansas City urban legend suggests that the small Kansas town of Tonganoxie plays a big part in the weather of the city. The "Tonganoxie Split," as it's called, states that a storm cell "splits" as it moves toward the heart of the metro. A number of citizens find this to be true. Reddit-specifically the Kansas City page-and other message boards crawl with people claiming that this phenomenon exists. The Tonganoxie Split is real.
