3. I'm in Kansas City area.

I’m not seeing the clouds racing across the sky, the way they do when a tornado is nearby. They’re still just kinda hanging there, blowing by in proportion to the wind, which is considerable. My neighbor kid’s trampoline is upside down against the fence.

I get really worried for my neighbors in the Midwest when I see the clouds racing. It’s like they all start heading to the same place, at the same time. Terrifying.

Keep your head down, Omaha.

What window we have, get the stuff from the car into the house, turn up the furnace, turn on the water, check the fridge and pantry for food suppliy needs, then go shopping.

either gone by or is in process.

Hoping everything is OK.

We'll get it at bedtime in eastern Iowa.
