You saw where they're talking about renaming or moving Tornado Alley after all the tornadoes we've had down here, right?

The may as well just make it Tornado Superhighway.

Seems bad this year I'm from Missouri and this is bad enough Kansas is getting the worse of it.

Stay safe BLINK!! Saw 5 pass within 2 miles of the house within the last year. Two of them were F5. Keep a look out and get somewhere safe!!

Stay safe!

Fingers crossed for you and those around you.

didn't feel safe until about 3:00am then a strong thunderstorm rolled through about 5:30am

i've lived in the Midwest for a few years now so stuff like this does not surprise me anymore. but at least we get plenty of warning which is not the case when i lived in Cali with the earthquakes!

Living on the east coast I've never had to experience anything like that.

The flood this year was the worst I've had to go thru.

Glad you stayed safe!

My oldest girl is a Doctor in OKC. She said most of the high winds were north of where she is. All the staff is on stand-by, and they take breaks, down in the basement.
