Tornado damage

tornado damage. The pictures of the devastation is amazing. It is
unbelieveable that only nine people died. It looks like an A-bomb went
off. OF

morning...
My PC at home has been turned off since about 3pm friday, because of
constant storming, ya know?
see other post.

That same system that went over Greensberg at 8, trained over us around 1am
without incident. I heard the National morning news monday (you know from
new york with those people) saying big tornado over a mile... over a mile
is kinda common, this one was almost 2 miles and according to weather
experts that is kinda rare and huge... (damage paths measured over 1.75
miles) Another interesting tidbit of unconfirmed trivia, might be the first
F5 since they started re-tweaking the fujita scale the last 10 years or so
something?
TV station said new record friday night sat am (24 hour period) of weather
warnings (116) not including watches, nor flood warnings.
However the next night, we had tornados right near us (within a couple
miles) that took all 25 houses near the lake (a small fishing lake), and I
guess knocked over a few RV's, this one was only .25 mile wide.
But, it Makes ME think, that if you go camping around here (KS,OK,TX,NE,
etc) that the sign at ANY campground really should have the freq's for local
NOAA weather alert radios to tune to, and then clearly state the county you
are in! That way when regular radio says "storm in North eastern ottawa
county" people that didnt grow up around here (you know, campers) have a
clue if the storm is closing in on em. Not that they could do anything
about it at this lake without ANy shelters and the few homes nearby (that
one might have ran too hoping to get shelter are destroyed. It happened
around midnight every one asleep, yet we only lost one person I hear
Another died in a trailer farther south. Just lucky really, mostly farm
ground with few farmsteads where this f2 rated hit. I was in NE last year
when a pretty scary storm was nearby, I had no clue it was that bad near us,
because I had no idea what towns were around us (in directions that the
storms travel (SW to NE)
Anywho, Biggest problem now is rain, them storms just went south west to
northeast over the same spots each night (actually several times each day &
night) everything is flooding. I drive 25 miles to work, yesterday I drove
100 to find a way in to here...

We had a tornado warning here (Marshall County, KS) on Saturday night
(May 5th), but no damage reports (radar indicated, etc.). Saturday
morning I had a radio site get hit by lightning which gave two of us
eleven hours of OT on Saturday and five more on Monday. While we were
working out there a storm went through. I learned later that we had been
in a tornado warning. Oh well.
We had a little low land flooding. Nothing like they had around Salina
and east toward Kansas City and St. Louis. My gauge showed 5.3 inches or
rain for that weekend.
I did lose my Internet at the house for a couple days, though.

Sheesh. Could you send some here? We haven't had
rain in 10-12 days and the minibike track is a dustbowl.
This is way early to be watering the track. I don't mind
watering the new trees I planted.
Go fast. Take chances.

Trials? TRIALS?! :-D
I've seen what those guys can do on Speed TV. Absolutely incredible and
completely humbling know that my riding skills aren't even a blip on
their radar. It would be an interesting thing to try.

Keep the sunny side up! I need to get my KL250 back together, but right
now my garage is infested with street bikes (how did that happen?). I
need to find a cheap dirt bike, I guess, that I can ride around the farm
and play with.
One thing about the Flint Hills between here and Manhattan is that there
are a lot of interesting back roads that would be fun to explore on a
dual sport. Time, all I need is time.
Good luck on the move.
