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 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.

Area forecast discussion, May 27, 6:41 PM CDT, 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Springfield MO
641 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017
.SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday)
Issued at 252 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017
Convection has been ongoing across the area for a couple of hours
now. Surface boundary extends from southern Illinois across
southern Missouri to a surface low over north-central Oklahoma.
The environment is extremely unstable with SBCAPE from our 18z
sounding over 5000 J/kg and 0-6km shear at around 50 kts. This
initial round is starting to become more linear with outflow
pushing the boundary southward.
The second round looks to be developing both in southeast Kansas
and northeast Oklahoma per SPC discussions. Will need to monitor
this closely as models...such as the HRRR...are tending to keep
the convection tied to the surface boundary. If this were to
materialize...would need to monitor for training of cells and
locally heavy rainfall along this east-west boundary.
Surface front will begin to push through the area during the
morning hours on Sunday. Rain should be out of all but south-
central Missouri by Sunday afternoon.
.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 252 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017
The upper level system then remains across the northern Great
Lakes region through Tuesday before an upper level ridge over the
western states begins to push it eastward. This will keep us in
northwest flow for the first half of the forecast period. Monday
and Tuesday should be dry but conditions will become unsettled
from Wednesday on.
By Thursday...an upper level trough begins to move out of the
desert southwest which will once again increase our rain chances.
Temperatures during the period will be at or slightly above
seasonal normals with highs in the 70s and 80s and lows in the 50s
and 60s.
&&
.AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening)
Issued at 630 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017
Second round of convection currently moving through the
area...mainly affecting KSGF/KJLN at this time but will be
affecting KBBG within the next hour or so. The main front should
start to pass through the area after 08z. The front will bring an
end to the thunderstorms but ceilings should lower to MVFR/IFR for
most the morning hours. Ceilings should begin to lift to VFR
after 18z.

Weather hazards expected... Elevated Tornado risk. Significant Hail risk. Significant Thunderstorm wind damage risk. Elevated Flooding risk. Significant Lightning risk. DISCUSSION... Strong to severe storms will continue to impact the Ozarks late this afternoon into tonight as very strong instability and wind shear remain in place ahead of a surface boundary. The potential exists for supercell thunderstorms as storms initially begin to develop. If these supercells do form, hail up to the size of baseballs, damaging winds, and tornadoes will all be possible. The storms will eventually become more linear in nature as the cold pool develops and will become capable of producing widespread damaging wind gusts. Gusts over 75 mph will be possible. Tornadoes will also be possible with any portions of the line which bow towards the east. This has the potential to produce power outages. Along with the risk for severe thunderstorms, frequent lightning and locally heavy rainfall can be expected. Localized flooding of low water crossings will be possible where the heavier rainfall occurs. A Flash Flood Watch is in effect through 7 AM Sunday. Localized rainfall amounts of up to 4 inches will be possible if training storms develop. Those with outdoor plans tonight are urged to pay close attention to the weather and have a plan in place to move to a sturdy shelter when severe weather threatens. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. A few lingering strong to severe storms will impact portions of south central Missouri Sunday morning before the system moves completely through the region. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary concern. The next chance of storms comes towards the end of next week. .SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT... Spotter activation may be needed in the next three hours for the entire area. && More detailed information can be accessed at: http://www.weather.gov/sgf/sitrep This product in graphical format...along with other weather... hydrological and climate information...at http://www.weather.gov/sgf Gaede
