Midwesteners...

Please be careful and vigilant today and Sunday...the weather is going to be bad.

Large powerful storms and the NWS is predicting a massive tornado outbreak. From Oklahoma up into central and eastern Kansas...I know there's quite a few members in this area...Vinnie, Graham, hell, even where I am going to be is under the gun, even the area I live in is in danger.


Be careful...the forecasters are calling for bad shiznit today. :(

I would have no doubt that if you're in this area, and have some daring, you will probably see a twister...hopefully at a distance though, and on it's way FROM you...:bowdown:

I really appreciate that Beau, most people will ignore the risks of today and will probably lose their lives because of it.  I have most of the major storm chasers on my facebook,  Joel Taylor, Reed Timmer, Chris Chittick, Dick McGowen, <---(from the show Stormchasers on Discovery channel) and a good friend of mine Spencer Basoco.  they keep me updated constantly with what is going on weather wise.  Any time there is severe weather I am all over it.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

For the first time in a week, it is now raining with thunder and lightning. There's a cellar 30 feet away as a "just in case". I do stay watchful.

Dan, it may very well be a great day for the X-Files.

Well, it rained for about an hour, then stopped. Now, overcast and calm. Not like the calm before a tornado....just calm.

barely got anything here, not wichita......  drove through there earlier today and saw the damage path :(  minimal injuries and no deaths but the damage is unreal...  large trees uprooted and laying on houses, power poles snapped but still suspended by wires, insulation everywhere..  all of this is in a location that we drive through everytime we go to wichita.  very sad to see :(

Yeah, Wichita got beat up pretty good.  I talked to my buddy who rents our house in Wichita and he said he was hiding in the closet while it was all going on.  Luckily we didn't get any damage to the house.

I've heard (unconfirmed) that the twister hit or otherwise damaged a hangar building where the B2 Spirit bombers are kept, as well as Air Force 1....again though, this was just something I read on another car forum...I did a bit of searching, didn't find anything conclusive. (Of course, if our mighty, top secret bomber storage was damaged..are we really gonna leak it on the world's number one search engine? lol)

I'm in the Air Force.  If it happened, I'm sure I will hear about it at work.  Haven't looked for any info today though.
