Here's the KC area spotter talk schedule

You should all mark this site on your computer, and attend one of the classes... You'll be amazed at all the info these guys will tell you...

Very important that the differences between spotters and chasers be noted. Roger does it well in the second paragraph.

Yep... I was pretty stupid my first two years... I thought it was a piece of cake following one... Boy --- I was wrong...

It's a must to attend a seminar if you wanna get serious... The one in Liberty is pretty darn good... The one is Cameron is so-so...

I should say --- it's a must to attend one if you wanna live....

What were the deadliest U.S. tornado days? On 3 April 1974, the main day of the two-day "Super Outbreak," tornadoes killed 308 people. The next deadliest day for tornadoes was 11 April 1965, the original "Palm Sunday Outbreak," where 260 perished. A list is online of top 20 deadliest tornado days since detailed record keeping began in 1950.

I was in the one's on April 11th 1965... I was 5 weeks old...
