Yes, we had the supercells moving through. It was still sunny here when the first tornado siren went off. The tornado was 25 miles away. Letting the kids go home is more dangerous than keeping them here. It took about 30 minutes for the siren to go again for another one 15 miles away, and then the final siren an hour later for the one north of us. We go through drills all of the time since this is the reality for us from March-June. Tornadoes are common around here, and everyone has had trees uprooted, lost barns as a part of it. I've even experienced one going over my house. (Yes, it does sound like a train). What ISN'T common is the F-5 one that hit Joplin. Even the basement didn't provide safety from that one. Sedalia was hit yesterday too, and I think people are taking the warnings a lot more seriously since Sunday. They say that lives were saved in Sedalia because people are taking cover now. They had an F-2 and many houses and businesses were destroyed, but no lives lost.
