DAY'S END....


A beautiful end to a perfect day. The weather was steamy hot, and the storms went right past us. There was some pretty wicked cloud to cloud lightning, but I wasn't in the right place to catch it all. Now if we could just get rid of all the mosquitoes......

STORMS JUST KEEP ON COMING


Kansas has been a pretty volatile state over the past three days, and more bad weather is expected all the way up until Wednesday at last check. I have done a little bit of chasing this season, but every time I feel those winds come in before the storm, I get the chickens and get the hell out of there. Makes me totally wanna call in for some term life insurance quotes just in case I ever get caught up in one of these buggers.


This storm was one of last night's run, which prompted tornado warnings soon after I left the area. On Sunday morning, before the days weather began, the tornado count for Kansas alone was over 125 for just Friday and Saturday. There were at least 2 deaths from the tornado outbreak, one death from a lightning strike, many many towns damaged, homes destroyed, and even another near miss with Greensburg. A tornado actually did touch down right outside the city. My prayers go out to my friend in Greensburg. Living the nightmare once was surely enough.....

LIGHTNING SCENES 2008

The weather all around us last night was incredible! Of course we didn't get anything, it was mostly to the east of us. These were the best I could muster with the storms being so far away and me staying right in my own backyard!
