OT-Prime tornado weather here... We're in a tornado watch till 7 pm along with several other Kansas counties. Severe storms are mushrooming up all over. The humidity is so thick you could cut it with a knife! If you could send some good mojo this way for no tornados, it would be appreciated! (yes, I have a basement) http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/k...640x480_12.jpg |
That's a pretty ugly cluster of cells in your area. Do the sirens go off in your area when a twister touches down X-number of miles away? I've often wondered how much notice you get, since tornadoes are rather unpredictable. |

Right now we're in a pocket where we're not getting anything but extremely high winds, but it's getting darker and darker outside! If I disappear, I shut this baby down and unplugged everything! |
Oh, that's sounds scary...I'm sending some mojo and some mega prayers too. Please stay safe! |
(((DeVon))) Sending hugs, prayers, and thoughts of safety your way. We've been getting similar weather and had the sirens going off last week, but I think ours is mild, compared to what you get. It's still pretty nerve-wracking. Please be safe. Hugs and prayers! Amy |
Holy Auntie Em! Holding you and yours in the Light, Dev:hug: |
Hold tight, DeVon! And if you see a lady flying by your window on a broomstick, that's me, my pretty ;) Sending good thoughts your way....spring can be a scary time weatherwise out here. |
It's that green color the sky gets that I'm most scared of if you've ever been near when a tornado occurs, you know "the color" I mean. It's creepy... that shade of green... YIKES.... |
Hope you all stay safe. We complain over here when it rains, I'm glad we don't have extreme weather. |
You're in my prayers, DeVon, get in your basement with all your critters and wait for it to pass. Mike (((( hugs ))))) |
Sending good vibes......We're in Missouri and it looks like you all are sending it our way. News here says it's gonna hit between 10pm and 1am, and it doesn't look pretty. I hate those middle of the night storms when you can't see that green color! Thank goodness we have a specially built tornado room totally surrounded by concrete in our basement.....still, I hate dragging the crew down there when they are sleeping soundly, but you can bet I'll do it! Now STBXAH......naw, never mind, I didn't think that, LOL! |
DeVon, I notice you aren't online, so I assume you're getting pounded with some pretty ugly weather, and might be down in your basement with your furkids. Stay safe, be well and come back as soon as the weather calms down. Sending prayers your way for you and all your "kids." |
hope you are all safe. |
In between storms right now, and I've got to get to the store before the next one hits. Tornado watch for my county has been extended to 3 am, and also in a flood watch. We got 2" dumped in a very short amount of time, with another 1-2" tonight! No tornado here, though homes over by Lake Afton got hit, which is about 30 miles east of me! Keep the good mojo coming! :) |

Holy Cow, Dev ...be safe... prayers continue... |
Stay safe. :c016: |
Unfortunately I can relate to tornado weather. I don't live far at all from Xenia, Ohio where one of the biggest and worst tornados hit in the spring of 1974. (An F5) We were off school that day (thank God) for something or another and I remember coming home from sneaking cigarettes from our hiding spot a few blocks from my house when the entire sky to the East turned into a wall of black/green. As long as I live, I will never forget it. We tried to drive into Xenia a few days later with my Grandparents who had canned goods, bottled water and other things to take. We couldn't get into what used to be the city, but we did see the destruction. There were National Guard set up all around to keep the curious out but we were able to pass on the supplies my Grandparents donated. The April 3-4, 1974 SUPEROUTBREAK, produced 148 tornadoes within a 24 hour period. This is the largest number on record. During the height of activity, 15 tornadoes were on the ground simultameously. 315 persons were killed, 5484 were injured within the 13 states and Canada in which tornadoes occurred. With a total 2598 miles the tornadoes traveled. There are several websites dedicated to this, one that even has an actual recording of the tornado hitting a house. It's very scary but if you're curious, go to Xenia Tornado It's about 3 minutes long and near the end, you can hear the tornado hit the house. Truly frightening. Judy |
Keep safe, Devon. As of 8:20 (central) is still looks kinda crazy. And a kind note just for your 4-footed companions: Woof, wwooofy, woof, bark, grr-bark, woof, woooffffy bark bark. And prayers!! you have mine. |
Hiya Freedom-- Sending good Mojo your way!!!! People love to complain about the weather here in the NoEast but y'know the worst that we get is blizzards...and severe cold - I'll take that any day over tornadoes or floods... Keep safe...and yer doggies too, do they get riled when the intense weather is threatening? peace, b |
:scared:Yikes! Batten down the hatches and tie down the furbabies!!!! Hope everyone made it through OK! Hugs and prayers, HG |
Am busy praying for you and your crew Dev. Know how scary it can be, as we have had 2 cyclones close by this year and got 11 inches of rain in 29 hours. May have to build an Ark for next season. :praying:damnit: |
(((DeVon)))It's now Monday morning. I have the news on,(as usual) and I'm waiting for the reports with more details of tornado(s) that did hit Kansas last night. I pray it didn't hit your area and for the safety of those who were in the path of these tornados. Please let us know if you're ok. Saying Prayers, Judy |
We're fine here, just a bit waterlogged. Not sure how much rain we got, but Wichita got 5" total, and we can't be far behind that! More storms expected mid-week, but hopefully not of the same severity! All good mojo and prayers were much appreciated. :) |
ah there you are...phew! I am so glad you and critters are okay, Dev..... albeit a little damp:D :ghug3 |

Considering ourselves lucky to just have gotten snow last night. Six inches of new snow. On April 27. Sigh. Pug went outside after breakfast this morning and you could see it in his face: "Snow? It's almost MAY, for heaven's sake. Highly unacceptable. Isn't there someone you can call about this?" :) Glad you're okay, DeVon! |

I am glad to hear that all you have to deal with right now is a very soggy yard and nothing worse. :sorry Glad that you didn't come back and announce that you weren't "in Kansas anymore". LOL. My grandparents lived in Topeka and great-grandparents in Witchata so growing up, were were always watching the news for reports on toranados. I'll take a hurricane over a tornado ANY DAY. Those suckers scare me to death!!! |
