Did it verify
Not verified. The Iowa Environmental Mesonet's Cow found no qualifying storm report inside this severe thunderstorm warning while it was in force. That is not proof nothing happened: reports are thin where few people live.
Cow counts a report within 15 km of the polygon while the warning was in force: a tornado for a tornado warning; hail of 1 inch or more, a gust of 58 mph or more or wind damage for a severe thunderstorm warning; a flash flood report for a flash flood warning.
The nearest sounding before it
Springfield, MO (KSGF), launched 12:00Z, 7.9 hours before the alert went out and 163 km from the middle of its area. This is the routine balloon launch nearest before it, the air the forecaster had in hand, not a measurement taken for the alert.

DARMOFALWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Wichita, KS wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Oct 9, 12:41 PM CDT, 2 hours 10 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Oct 9, 12:41 PM CDT, 2 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Wichita KS 1241 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Wednesday night) Issued at 332 AM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017 Current satellite water vapor imagery shows a strong upper level wave over Nevada/Utah which will move eastward out into the central plains by this afternoon. Surface low pressure will deepen over central Oklahoma with strong northerly winds increasing over central Kansas. We will hoist a wind advisory as surface pressure gradient becomes quite strong over central Kansas this afternoon. Otherwise the main focus for today will focus on possible severe weather for locations along and east of the Kansas turnpike during the afternoon/evening hours. The key will be how far north the richer low-level moisture can make it during the next 12-18hrs. Upper forcing will be quite strong with this system and would expect storms to begin developing sometime during the 2-4pm time frame over south central Kansas, with coverage increasing and spreading eastward into southeast Kansas thereafter. Shear/instability is favorable for large hail/damaging winds, however if associated warm front low-level moisture can work its way into southern Kansas like some of the short range models are suggesting. This could create favorable conditions for a few tornadoes to occur, especially if we see increases in the low- level wind fields/0-3km CAPE values. The upper level wave will shift eastward on Tuesday with some lingering rain showers in the morning across central/eastern Kansas, however clouds and cold air behind this system will keep daytime highs chilly and well below normal. Meanwhile ideal radiational cooling from surface high pressure sitting over the area Tuesday night could give way to some patchy light frost early Wednesday morning. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Sunday) Issued at 332 AM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017 Warmer above normal temperatures will quickly return to the region for Thursday-Saturday as southerly winds push warmer air northward across the central plains. GFS/ECMWF models both show a healthy upper trough moving across the northern plains for next weekend, with chances of rain returning to the region but they differ on timing/placement. We should see another noticeable cool down as a strong cold front moves southward for Saturday night into Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Tuesday afternoon) Issued at 1241 PM CDT Mon Oct 9 2017 A strong cold front will continue to slice southeast across the region this afternoon and tonight. Behind the front, strong north winds and MVFR ceiling are expected. Ahead of the front, scattered thunderstorms will prevail over southeast Kansas after 3 pm, some of which may be severe. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms will expand across much of the area this evening and overnight, as a strong upper disturbance approaches from the west. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
