tornado reports doesn't necessarily mean there was a tornado watch. Although after some more twitter searching, there was a lot of conflicting data out there. Either way, not as many nados as normal.
Also the south is about to get bent over today. 
I certainly agree with you when it comes to tornadoes without watches, although that map indicates there were 9 tornadoes in the KC area on the Missouri side and 3 on the Kansas side, I doubt that many came without a watch. It's more possible that Lezak or whomever said that just made a mistake.
Weather twitter is in a tizzy because the dreaded "some people" called yesterday's outbreak a dud, although all of the people railing against it didn't quote tweet anyone actually saying that. Seeing some of the damage from the outbreak, I'm amazed that no one died, even though none of the tornadoes hit an urban area.
I discovered this website and I love it.
