Fox 4 kc had a confirmed clocked 80 mph wind gust in Shawnee Ks as the front came through. I had power flicker a few times and pretty high winds. I ordered a bunch of stuff for pickup at Sam's Club at N. Oak in KC North. It was a 7 to 8 am pickup window. I arrived at 7:20 wasn't a car hardly in the lot. The pickup text wasn't on my phone so called the number on the sign at my pickup parking slot nothing just rang. Pretty soon an employee came out the door and told me the power was out and that they are closed. I thought they would have backup power. Sure screwed up my plans to smoke some ribs today.

Limbs are across roads and trees snapped in half 20 feet up from the ground. I usually see the usual culprits such as soft maples and Bradford Pear but these are hardy oaks hackberry and walnut. Power out all around Me like across my street. The outage map shows me in a triangular area surrounded by outage boxes. Im in nice cool tall cotton here but the longer the power is out I may have to hold off the hoards. I am loaded for bear and ready to rumble. Its survival of the fittest in the Northland burbs.
