I love late season severe weather outbreaks.....

I'll keep saying that......maybe I'll believe it one of these days. At least I'm not like a few of my co-workers. They are supposed to fly back into KC on Friday afternoon/evening. If the forecast holds, I highly doubt they would be able to fly around what is supposed to be a "widespread" severe weather event. Oh well, we'll see.....

Make sure the batteries are good in the weather radio and the flashlights. Can't ever be too careful.
