Tornado alert in for the Central and Southern Plains today

[Tri Girl]

yeah, I'm pretty excited about it.
Already packed my emergency backpack with food/water/supplies/important papers and the portable dog crate. I'm ready to run across the street to the neighbor's cellar if need be.

Hope it passes without incident....

We've put both cars in the garage and have been making preparations to get all of us - two people and three critters - to the basement quickly. There have already been several tornadoes out west. This system looks bad. If you're in the path, be safe.

Sending good thoughts out to all those affected, must be so scary, living in the UK we are so fortunate not to experience such extreme weather.

Take care and keep safe.

Tornado hit our city last night (Wichita) and did heavy damage to south and southeast parts of town. Fortunately, no lives lost and no serious injuries. We live 10 miles away so we're fine. We just got rain and wind, but we did go to the basement because when the storm was coming in we didn't know for sure which direction it would go. Hope everyone else stayed safe.

Thankful you are fine, hope everyone else is as well!
