Yeah, I was thinking of Jim K and Dane W when the news report said Kansas was hit. Hope everyone made it through fine.

Yeah, I heard Harveyville, KS was hit hard, that's only about 60 miles from Lawrence, where Jim K. lives. Dane's in that general area too. I hope they're both OK...

Yeah, I'm fine. I didn't even know about any tornadoes until I got a phone call from my mom this morning. All we had was a little bit of rain, lots of lightning, and some wind. I heard about Harveyville on the 3:00 news this afternoon. Thanks for the thoughts.

Good to hear! Yeah, in terms of a tornado, 60 miles is a huge distance... unless you're in it's path...

Yeah, it's a bit early, to be sure. But the truth is they can happen any time of year. The most usual time is the spring of the year, heaviest in May and June. But like earthquakes in California, you learn to deal with it. Just one of those things....

The school where I teach spent 90 minutes in the hall on Wednesday, as the tornado sirens kept going off. We're supposed to get another round coming through today.

Indiana got hit hard,, pretty scarey here in western Ohio for a while as well. Hope all the Hoosiers are OK.

Thanks. We got lucky in Louisville today. However, areas just north and south got hit. My wife has uncles in Henryville, IN, and thankfully they are ok, although the area is in various states of destruction.
