Super Bowl celebration in Kansas City was so big it showed up on weather radar

The Chiefs fought for Kansas City’s right to party, and last night, the city did just that.

In a stunning comeback, the Chiefs triumphed over the San Francisco 49ers, 31-20, to win Super Bowl LIV — the team’s first victory in the big game in 50 years.

As the clock hit zero, cheers and fireworks erupted across the city, and to a pretty impressive degree.

Just after 10 p.m., the National Weather Service in Kansas City tweeted that the celebration was so big, fireworks were showing up on the weather radar.

“Here’s #KansasCity erupting in celebration, as detected by our radar!” the tweet said, along with an animated image showing brief bursts on the radar.

“That’s funny...but can you blame us?” one user commented.

“I saw them all over as my son and I drove to KC tonight. He loved it,” wrote another.
