Unforunately, I think we haven't heard the worst. I hope I am wrong, but I think there will be quite a large number of fatalities. :cry:

Doesn't look as impressive now.

But everytime I think that, it gets that hook back.

Well, tornadoes are common in Kansas. Maybe everyone knew to take shelter.

That is all relative...it is still capable of strong to violent tornadoes.

On the radar, is another one forming to the NW?
