I just spoke to my parents who live in Ellis...there is no power. They also heard that semi-trailers were flipped on the interstate.

New couplet a few miles east of the new one. Should stay east of Greensburg.

Shades of May 4, 2007: The central KS cell is cycling a third time, and a fourth tornado appears likely going to Great Bend...

Looking at that shot, Greensburg should be OK...should miss by about 3 miles to the east (since it appears to be moving NNE).

Another impressive cell south of Pratt.

The new couplet has taken over and is now moving NE again.

KSN is in a newscast; you can hear them talking behind the scenes...quite cool, I wonder if anyone is reading our thoughts?
