wow, what a day and what a nite! 90 tornadoes went through Ks yesterday from 1:00 pm until 4:00 am. couldnt watch anything on tv due to the constant coverage. But thank goodness it was like that, apparently people finally paid attention to the warnings and alerts. So far in KS there has NOT been any deaths according to the news. ME AND MY FAMILY ARE ALRIGHT!!!! The storms started in Western KS and moved across the state. Some areas saw 2-3 tornadoes before it was done. Thank God there was only damage to property this time. In my own area, we did not get hit but some were very close by. and headed our way...but they hit 10 miles to 60 milesaway (around the wichita area). Yes about 10 PM me and my family hauled butt over to our neighbor's basement. You just dont take chances in this kind of weather especially in a mobile home.
Going through one of those storms causes one to be on edge and watchful, however it is horrible when it happens at nite. You watch the news and weather and watch it come your way, then you lose power and all you can do is sit and wait. Thank goodness the house we were at did have a generator that came on shortly. These storms are freaky when you can see them, but it really freaks you out when they come in the night. I am so than
kful that things werent as bad as they could have been.
My thoughts go out to those with damage, and I hope you all in the close by statesl ike Nebraska, Wisconsin, Iowa, MInnesota....
that got the same storms after we did are ok too. Today is still windy and over cast but they say the weather is not going to be severe.
So just letting you all know that I am ok and glad to start a new day.
You all enjoy your weekend and ride safe if you go out!!
