Thank God you are Okay

One of our sons called, he wanted to know if we were

okay, that the radio said the tornado was spotted very

close to where we live. I told him we're fine, we have

power and we were in the basement!  Thank the dear

Lord it didn't hit! 

good to hear

I haven't been out looking around but from I've heard

Kansas State University has taken quite a hit from last

nights tornado.  There appears to be a lot of damage.

Phil came home, he can't get onto the campus, and he

said there's no way they'd be able to work, so many of

the streets are closed, because of  fallen trees.

A friend had their roof blown off and his boat is upside

down in the neighbors yard.

Today could be a repeat....

i saw pics on fox of manhattan

 

jesus it looked like a kids erector set

 

do you know what the f rating was??????

I've heard that it might be rated a 3 or 4!  The path is just

devastating.   When you see the trees down and all the leaves

ground into the street, trash laying around, it just makes

everything look so terrible.  One area you can hardly see

the houses because of the huge trees that have fallen onto the

houses.  I think the tornado was closer to us than I originally

thought...but the force of a tornado, even when it's going back

into the clouds, is wicked. 

The University is building a parking garage and one of the students

said the crane was spinning in circles, they were afraid that thing

would fly off. 

So far there are no watches or warnings for our area but like the

weather channel said, we didn't at this time yesterday.  So, the

eyes are to the sky.

two dead

 

one in salina and one in manhattan

radar shows worst storms already to the east of you

The two dead, from what we've heard, are in Chapman and

one in Soldier.  Unless someone died since that report.

 

I watched the news and Topeka was getting quite a bit of rain,

we have sunshine and blue sky.  They did add us to the watch

though...

We're not in the watch....it looked like part of Riley

County was included but the crawl said differently.
