Tornadoes in KC area today

[Archie F. Swin]

the Storm Prediction Center has placed NE Kansas, NW Missouri, SE Nebraska and SW Iowa in a High Risk of severe weather. Basically draw a line from Des Moines to Lexington to Emporia to Topeka to Omaha back to Des Moines and that's the bulls eye. The only time SPC issues a high risk is when they feel nearly every thunderstorm that develops in the area today will be capable of producing a tornado. So be careful guys. Todays the kind of day where you need to have a way to monitor the weather on an hourly basis. Good day to have your NOAA weather radio with fresh batteries.

This is the front that was in this region two days ago and produced several twisters. It's one nasty SOB.

[Lzen]

Damn, I was wanting to work on finishing my privacy fence and do some landscaping today. :banghead:

[Fire Me Boy!]

Geez... I'm really tired, getting ready to go to bed now... I just read the thread topic and I swear, it said "TOMATOES" in KC...

[gblowfish]

I was gonna clean and waterproof my deck. Looks like I won't be touching my deck today.
You know, in Suburbia a man is measured by the size of his deck.

I get really really bored on rainy summer days....

[htismaqe]

There's an emergency management coordination call for Iowa at 1pm today.

Why does this thread even exist? Who's scared of tomatoes?

You surely remember that, in your youth, they had the great tomato uprising of 1856.

yep, it was orchestrated by Tatsumi Maranara.

All you could see for miles and miles were the carnage of seeds and spilled juice for miles and miles.

Tornadoes have a bad reputation for destroying homes and killing people and stuff, but in my opinion they don't get enough positive recognition for their important role in helping people evolve into flying creatures.

I've never been to that one.. cool. Here's another good one for the KC area.

Looks like there are now 7 counties with tornado warnings.

[BigOlChiefsfan]

The first wave of tonites's Crapfest is out between Two-pecker and Manhattan right now, headed our way. Got a battery radio/flashlight/candles? Extra batteries?

[Skip Towne]

Tornadoes suck!!

[ExtremeChief]

Tornadoes suck!!

uhmmm, yep they do

so do vacuums.

[BigOlChiefsfan]

Nature abhors a vaccuum. And she doesn't like toaster ovens, either.

[sparkky]

But during tornado season she does seem to be rather fond of blenders!

[4th and Long]

Unplug your anything electrical you don't want fried, check your batteries in your flashlights, grab some candles and hunker down. These storms are chalked full of lightning and several power outages have already been reported.

The line of storms is just now going through here. Dropped several tornadoes around Conception and north of Bethany MO, but just high winds now.

[Lzen]

Tornado warning for Brown Co, KS. NW of KC metro.

Heh, yeah. My dad lives up there. And he moved out of his house a couple years ago into a trailer. :shake: Lucky for him, he was out at Perry Lake.


Lucky for me, the rain and crap didn't hit until about 7:30 or 8:00. I got a lot done. :)

Here's a big 4321 to the weather tonight.

The wife and I were in Galena this evening for a mini-getaway weekend. Around midnight the worst part of this storm system was over Cedar Rapids producing large hail and heading straight for us. With no safe place to park the Mustang, I decided the risk was too great, and we headed home to the safety of the garage. Just got in.

F#cking weather. :cuss:

The wife and I were in for some shitty weather and all I cared about was safe parking for the car.

I hope you didn't share the sentiments with the wife.

Galena is west of Chicago. The shitty weather was traveling northeast. We got out from under it quickly.

I'm just playing, just struck me funny how you put it.

[stanleychief]

Wow.. after all that hype and hysteria the weather people were pimping on the local channels, I think we got about 1/10th of an inch of rain total in South KC tonight. I know other areas in the North region of the metro didn't do so well, but it's amazing how far off their prediction was.

Here's a big salute to the local weather crew for making us ditch our plans for the evening because of the threat of severe weather. 4321

Wow Tim, did they give you a credit on your room? Galena is nice, I go out there and play golf at least once a year.

Their prediction wasn't far off at all. 100% of the tornadoes reported for last night occurred within watch areas ranging from Oklahoma all the way to Wisconsin. Just because one didn't hit KC doesn't mean they were "far off".

They may have saved several lives. There's a reason that year after year we set records for fewest tornado-related deaths. But God forbid you had to ditch your plans.

On a different note, a friend of mine who lives near the MO border (near Kellerton) had SOFTBALL-sized hail last night. He said the biggest one he found was almost 4.5".

[ExtremeChief]

It hit here around 11pm. We got lucky and just got ridiculous wind. Maybe pea sized hail and some rain, but no tornadoes as far as I know. Since I have a tornado magnet (double wide), I try to keep an eye out during tornado season.

Man, that second sentence reads like it came straight out of an Athan article...

[Nzoner]

We had a couple of them touch down here in St Joe,the closest one to us was about 9 miles away.We were up and down the stairs a few times last night going back and forth from the shelter.

[Sure-Oz]

Severe weather my ass, i heard a little lightning and some drops, wow i was waiting too.

[Frazod]

Wow Tim, did they give you a credit on your room? Galena is nice, I go out there and play golf at least once a year.

No, and I didn't ask. Nothing wrong with the room, and I can't fault them for the weather or me being paranoid.

Odds are nothing happened. Even when it hails, the big stuff is generally isolated. It probably just rained like hell and that was it. But the way my luck runs :grr: I wasn't going to chance it.

[Fire Me Boy!]

There's a line of 'em coming from the south, EVERYBODY RUN!!!!

Someone should raise this thread about once every two months just to scare some of our more easily intimidated posters.

[Skip Towne]

You really can't fault Frazod for wanting to get his car in out of the weather. Everybody know Fords fly to pieces in a 20 mph wind.

They are almost as bad as satellite dishes.

Not if Rich Scanlon installs them.

Not if Rich Scanlon installs them.
And if Brian Shay is driving a Ford, I don't see what the issue is.

[BigOlChiefsfan]

[petegz28]

No tornadoes here in Olathe but I did watch the tree in my front yard split at the trunk with a loud CRACK! It's toast and I'm bummed.

[4th and Long]

Here we go again. 70 mph winds, tornado watches, etc.

[4th and Long]

Now they are talking about 2" of rain an hour. I may need to sign off and start building an arc.

[Phobia]

I think I'm going to move to frick'n Phoenix. I liked 115 a helluva lot better than this shit.

[4th and Long]
