1. Here? (good luck, whereever *here* is) n/t

[patrice]

2. Kansas. nm

[annabanana]

3. Well. . hunker down and hold your breath! I hope it passes

uneventfully!!

[blondeatlast]

4. I remember those and have about a hundred first name relatives still in KS.

Take care--what part, if you don't mind me asking (I understand if you'd rather not say)?

[Danieljay]

7. I'm not in Kansas any more! Praise be to the flying spaghetti monster!

I moved to Portland Oregon 5 years ago and have never looked back! My fiancee did take me back for my birthday recently. Had it not been for my good friends I would have been back on a plane and headed back to Oregon the following day. What the hell took me so long to leave there I haven't a clue.

There are things I do miss. Huge home grown tomatoes, the beautiful skies, the flint hills, my friends, and yes...the thunderstorms. If you have never experienced softball sized hail and the threat of a tornado, you haven't really lived. I used to storm chase with a friend of mine that worked for a local radio station there (KFDI - a country station that had storm chaser mobile units). Wow, thats an experience!

That being said, I don't wish destruction or harm on anyone and my thoughts and prayers are with all of you there!

11. Portland: You and my Daughter.

After she graduated from KU, about 15 years ago now. I didn't want her to go, But I'd given up running her life a LONG LONG time before that.

She has her own business now Tweak Interactive http://www.tweakinteractive.com/ - look them up if you ever need anything Visual; she does it all.

....................

Very, very quiet here now.

The local radar was unavailable on the weather channel for a while, but they're up and running now, with the weather guy describing what is going on.

24. we are looking for a web designer..we'll give her a call...

Here is one of our websites:

www.hormonesynergy.com

We are opening a new clinic and will need a website for that business as well. We love our hormonesynergy site, done by Rareheron Web Designs.

[patrice]

27. She's in Cannes for a couple of weeks for one of her film projects

but I'm sure she'll get back to website stuff soon.

She's an artist at heart and, though the heart of her business is the usability research, her work is pretty distinctive.

5. Haven't you guys already had enough?

It's been rough here in Oklahoma, as well, but you guys have really been hammered.

Stay safe and check in so we know you're OK...

I'm about sick of all this bad weather. We've had over 7 inches of rain in Tulsa this month, and more coming today and tomorrow. Water is standing everywhere, the ground is saturated.

Do you have a storm shelter you can go to?

[patrice]

9. AND Bush is in Greensburg today.

That's IF they allow his plane to land in Wichita, with the severe weather warnings.

God forbid he should go in Harm's Way! :sarcasm:

[malaise]

13. He's meeting with people there now

Stay safe everyone

[magellan]

6. Stay safe!

Envisioning parting clouds and sunshine for you!

[patrice]

10. Oh! Thanks very much!

Just carry those parting clouds and sunshine into all that you do today and eventually it'll get back to us, hopefully not toooo late!

[mwdem]

8. Uh, oh, my daughter and her husband live there

She lives on Overland Park, works in K.C.

[patrice]

12. It's real quiet here right now. And all Kansans know that can be

a bad sign.

Not a leaf stirring, no breeze or wind, no birds - unusual for Kansas.

The light isn't that funny greenish color, though, and that's a good sign.

[mwdem]

14. I'll keep an eye on the weather channel..

things aren't quite that bad here in Texas, but we've been having some "weather" here, too.

[patrice]

22. Radar is clearing up here now.

Texas still has quite a bit of heavy action though.

Take care.

[blondeatlast]

15. The calm before the storm--as an ex-Winfielder, I know how terrifying that can be.

All the positive vibes I can muster for you all--I have lots of family still there.

That silence can be so very frightful indeed. :hug:

[patrice]

21. Winfield, where, for several years, there was a flat-picking festival, right? nm

[blondeatlast]

23. I believe it continues. My late father participated for many years.

He an my grampa were excellent fiddlers.

proud2blib keeps trying to get me to return--I wish I could! I miss my little burg...

Take care--that silence; I remember it too well :scared:

[Neecy]

16. where are you?

I hope whatever you've got going on isn't headed to eastern Kansas - it's raining here now, but nothing severe.

[patrice]

17. .

Just that eerie silence at this point.

The Weather Channel is warning, but not alarming; local channels are on their regular programming. Maybe the county is using it's sirens proactively these days. I'm going to put it on mute, but keep an eye on it.

I've lived with Tornados all my life and just have not been real concerned about them beyond the basics, but it seems there is more reason to be watchful these days.

[Neecy]

18. wow

You aren't all that far from me - haven't heard any sirens yet, though.

Personally, I'll be more than glad when May is over.

[in_cog_ni_to]

19. Stay safe! n/t

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

20. get thee to your storm cellar

take water, a flashlight, and a battery radio. Best of luck to you!

[Horse with no Name]

25. Good luck!

We had some bad storms last night--those must be what are coming your way.
Stay safe.

[catmandu57]

26. I don't see anything on the radar

just some light scattered showers, heavy stuff way down in west texas, maybe they're just testing the sirens.
