Nope. Looks like I might have to hit my shelter soon. Looks like a hook might be coming this direction. Might go north of here, but it's got an impressive hail core north of the hook, which is pretty "classic" from what I'm told.

Official warning issued. To the shelter!

--snoopj

Let us know if your ok!!!!!

Ominous looking hook developing over KCMO....

Yikes that is scary!

I'm directly to the east of that Northmoor dot.

Either way, it's passed now. Sirens are off. All clear.

--snoopj

Any damage in your area, snoopj?

Good... let us know if there is any local damage or injuries.

Glad your ok...!

Yep... good you're alive!

We're up to at least 10 tornadoes reported.

possible tornado in eastern dekalb coutny

Sounds like if anything, they were extremely brief touchdowns, no damage reports to the media outlets. It looks like, at least in my area, the storm lost a lot of punch over this area, but did regen a bit after it passed. Hail core seemed to have disappeared a bit and then regenerated.
