When will this all end? What a horrible tornado year this has been, so many dead, so much damage.

And then the Boy Scout tragedy tonight in Iowa. My heart and prayers go out to those families.

Looks like things are starting to wind down in KS as the cells look like they are merging and predominate mode becomes linear in the next hour.

It looks like that cell is trying it's hardest to tighten back up, but I do not know if that will be enough.

Media reporting tornado is on the Kansas St. campus and is very large! Kansas St. is not in session right now according to their calendar, but I'm sure there are still people on campus for summer school and orientation.

There should be an tornado emergency for Manhattan but there isn't. How many tornado reports now?

Praxus · #194 Postby **Praxus** » Wed Jun 11, 2008 11:09 pm

CNN just said there were 5 tornadoes on the ground right now.

Those boy scouts were in tents...wow. I really feel for them.

Dunno what's going on this year, seems like every couple of days there's more destructive tornadoes...
