Was that Toto that flew by earlier :???:
Nope- guess not :wink: but have had days of that miserable SouthEast wind that I think is blowing right out of Okie and Kansas.....
Am picking up a little moisture- about .6 in all now...Could be more but I guess we should be thankful for whatever- whenever.....

it all died out pretty much by the time it got here. watched the weather all night, and was very suprised....from OKlahomoa to Nebraska, there were 19 Kansas counties under tornado warnings at one time. a solid line of red from north to south!
Greensburg had another F5 just miss them.... and a smaller one that went right for town, lifted as it passed over, and touched down again.....
they say it could stack up and do it the next 3 nights!

I'm in Kansas now (and last night) and, boy, what a ride. Jigs said it all....there were tornadoes and severe storms all over the place last night. I was up until 1:30 until it kind of blew past here (McPherson, KS)
Anyway, I called back home this evening to Oklahoma only to find out that there were tornadoes all over there, too!
So, Kola, to answer your question..... yes!

Well....if it all starts up again...keep yer head low and use both hands to " cover yer azz"
We had a one here about 15 yrs ago or so that was a doozie. It took my friends new home under construction on a ridge about 2 miles from me.....and dropped it ALL in my creek bottom pastures.
I mean the whole framing, insulation, all of it! All they had left was the foundation and a couple of water pipes.
Stay alert people.

talked to a cousin from Hays today. he is in law enforcement, and was out spotting those things the other night.....according to his sources, the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Nebraska had over 100 tornadoes that night. this includes both spotted and confirmed, and the radar projected twisters......

Didn't get none this past storm front. But I just drove through Picher OK today to see the damage that hit a couple weeks ago. Pretty big mess, sad thing is Picher is such a mess from the Government trying to buy out the whole town due to mine shaft cave ins and lead in their yards from all the old mining days my son would think he saw a house that was hit by the tornado, but I would tell him those house been like that for years.
My kids principal lives in Picher, his house was hit and they found some of his mail outside Springfield MO probably 80 miles away.
Wild thing is his house was demolished all but one wall that had a closet on it and his clothes were still hanging on the hangers with the door to the closet blowed away. Strange how a tornado destroys but skips over some things.

Now what I'm gonna say will prob hit " some' people the wrong way, but it is not intended to that way.
I say this as a person who was hit with a tornado in the late 80's and had to clean up the damage.
Don't drive by just "to look" @ the damage if you can't stop and help.
All you do is fill up the road when people and machines need to be moving about doing their jobs.

We experienced a tornado on our ranch in Western Montana, believe it or not. 500 cottonwood trees down (looked like stalks of celery twisted off); roof taken off the barn and the garage; the bunkhouse was gone except all the stuff inside it was untouched, etc. etc.
If all the spectators had put a $1 in the mailbox, we'd have had plenty of money to work with. We did have wonderful folks that came out after work and really helped clean up. We fed them all, from morning to night.
It was quite an experience. Then a father and son from Missoula came and chopped up all the trees. They hauled 2500 cords of Cottonwood back to Missoula and sold it. What a job! They were there all winter.
Help in these circumstances is very much needed and appreciated.
