About Shawnee

Shawnee is one of the older communities in Johnson County, named for the Shawnee people, and has grown west in recent decades toward the Kansas River (Wikipedia: Shawnee, Kansas).

Garages here

Older east-side homes: smaller attached garages, sometimes with older openers that predate photo-eye sensors.
Western Shawnee: larger newer homes with insulated doors and wider openings that catch more storm wind.

Weather and doors

The National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill office covers Johnson County's summer heat, winter storms, ice and severe thunderstorm winds (National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill). Cold mornings are when tired springs tend to break, ice can freeze a bottom seal to the slab, and storm gusts push on wide doors left partly open. The seasonal guide has a checklist.
