    So, I just got back from my storm shelter. We had a tornado on the ground about a half mile from where it is located. I'm fine, but there are words of damage to the city and college where I live. This is my third severe storm (Tornado/Hail) in 10 days. Crazy.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    there is your problem right there bellow your avitar.:shifty:

    if you are not from that area and plan on being there for a while, then get used to it. this time of year and in the fall especially. i lived in KC for almost 15 years and i never really got used to it.

    Lived here for all of my 29 years my friend ... doesn't make it any less nuts. Word coming out now is that it plowed through the middle of the Kansas State University campus ... about 2 miles from where I live.

    i'm originally form the north east and i had a hard time with the flat and the weather. my wife is from that area and we are planning a trip back later this summer.

    i hope that the damage is minimal and that everyone is safe. i know that they are working on early warning out there. do you get any KC channels in Manhatten?

    My locals are out of Topeka, I don't get the KC channels. Same storm that hit me just hit my grandparents, and they are about an hour and 15 minutes away from me.

    I lived in Wichita for 5 1/2 years and never saw a tornado. I guess that's a good thing

    Iowa here, been through 3 tornado warnings so far.

    1 missed us only by 4 miles north did some damage to a friend of my brothers house. Another one we got real lucky the funnel cloud went over top my house and the town. We where getting 80 mph winds and luckily never got a touch down. Destroyed some trees though. The other siren not sure where it was spotted.

    Keep in mind those 3 where just last 2 weeks. Luckily im not near any of the rivers flooding has officially passed 1993 here in Iowa

    it was my first year in KC in 93. there was all kinds of storms that spring and damage on the Kansas side. two nights ago we were in a tornado warning here in PA. ran all kinds of drills. i think it rained for about 20 minutes and then sunshine. i hope everyone stays safe, i know those storms are very dangerous.

    Yea its been a interesting spring so far, some of the major towns are in trouble from the rain and if it doesn't stop soon damage is going to be ridiculous.

    Odin, I don't know how I've missed up until now that you're from Manhattan. My dad was a KSU grad back in the day, and I've been a fan by blood ever since. (The Wildcats are #2 to The U, of course.)

    I was on the Jordy Nelson bandwagon during draft time ... I would have thought that would have given it away. :pointlol:
