Tornado in Kansas tonight

Tomorrow promises to be a day to be on heightened alert in south central Kansas and then points eastward. The weather folks are not saying there might be bad storms, it is just a matter of where they are going to occur. In Andover hundreds of folks were still without electricity today, as clean up crews were busy all along the pathway of the destruction.

The primary school that was damaged will not reopen in time for the children to complete their school year there. They are off school for a week, and then will most likely be moved out to other primary schools to finish up their last several weeks of school.

Straight line winds and torrential rains all across central Kansas last night. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a big “box” of warnings (Nebraska line to the Oklahoma line) of thunderstorm warnings. Power outages and tree debris on this one, and because it was fully dark, there won’t be the plethora of video like last years tornado.
 
I was shopping at Sam club out east with the family when this tornado came down almost 3 years ago. The notice hit and the place emptied, we didn't know what was going on at first. We live about a mile from the Andover YMCA. Then my sisten-in-law called us asking if we were in the basement cause it looked like a tornado was coming down onto of our house. We were very lucky. Pretty much watched the whole thing unfold on the drive home from Sam's on K-96.

Kansas weather will continue to keep us on our toes!
