Call Your Relatives in Kansas City!!!

If you know anyone in the Kansas City area or in the KS to MO area, kindly give them a call and tell them to TURN THEIR WEATHER RADIOS ON!!! There is a huge hook-echo (with tornado reported on the ground) heading just south of KS City. There will be many more of these as the night progresses throughout the plains/midwest.

As for us, we're still in the cross hairs. We aren't in as good a chance for severe/tornadoes as MS, AL, or GA is. The fact of the matter still stands that there is a threat and still a pretty good chance of severe storms tomorrow. We are on the border of a Slight to Moderate risk area, but I'm willing to guess that we're almost just as susceptible to tornadoes and hail as the area just inside that moderate risk area.

Many meteorologists are calling for mass weather radio activations. Remember: a weather radio is just as important as a smoke detector!

I'll get into full severe weather mode tomorrow and make posts when possible. If super cells develop, I'll probably out there with my video camera. A super cell is cool because it is so small and compact that you can see it in the distance and see it coming towards you. They also breed tornadoes, just like the super cell SW of Kansas City that is currently producing one.

Get ready!!!
