Eric Elam, general manager of the Best Western, Platte City, said the storm drew about 60 walk-in room rentals from passersby pulling off the highway due to the poor driving conditions or whose vehicles had become too damaged to drive. “The following day, I had an additional 35 people just stuck here because of their car damage,” Elam said. “Some had to have windshields replaced.
