GROG!

Now Dusty’s getting religion and cultism confused? Give me all your worldly possessions and you will be free! (of them) This cannot end well. Toon tour between workin gotta go major malfunction no internet for some. I got mine

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Poof

Good Morning Tribesters!

Good Morning, RwB & Grog!

Last good day for a couple, Terry. Make the most of it, my friend.

My ipod? No way Jose!

I’m going to try, RwB. I hope you enjoy it also.

Good Morning, ♠Lonewolf♠ and……………………………

Runs with Beer!!!

Good Morning, Fellow Baby!

Hey there, Grog!

Good morning, Dry.

I need to get a move on.

Have a great day everyone! Catch you all at lunch.

P&L

Hi, LuvH8!

Watch out, it’s Pamela Mae Snap (from BREWSTER ROCKIT)!

And greetings, Fellow Tribesters!

LuvH8, you did such a magnificent job with the breakfast menu on such short notice that I’ve proposed to the Boss that he and two of his Special Forces should come in this morning.

Good Morning, Johanan

Between the four of us, we should order at least one of everything you have that doesn’t have pork in it. Get ready, the big guys (jet-haired Slate and golden-haired Hilo) have BIG appetites (they should, they’re seven feet tall).

Ah hah, here they are… and how special, Autumn’s love song for Chris Alan is playing as they enter… no wonder, Autumn’s here too…

Hey, Christopher Alan

Hi, Grog!

Had the wrong photo linked, but that’s been corrected now. As I may have mentioned before, I used the action figures for Deuce (WWE wrestler), Alex Pettyfer (playing Alex Rider) and Ken (from Street Fighter) as models for my characters Slate Rockmire, Chris Alan Starbright and Hilo Whitemoon, respectively. (However, Chris Alan and his general appearance were already fixed in my mind before I ever saw Alex Pettyfer on film.)

Whew! I finally passed a major stage of review of the MS. of a proposed book featuring these characters and others. My co-author is taking her turn at reviewing the epic, as I speak.

Oh yeah, Grog, can’t let this pass by (as I don’t have any buttons up yet)…

Good morning to who have been on and soon will or not been seen in a while: ♠Lonewolf♠, Little sister , MontanaLady, Frankr , hopeandjoy2, Lewreader & RwB, Grog, Doctor Toon, Dry, Rmom, Bestest Big Sister LuvH8, The Sojourner, Love&PieceJoy ,yyyguy, Carmy, A Little Sharper U, DDFenceEMET, jarlyddie, MisngNOLA

BBS love your PMS and does your Lemon Meringue Pie have lots of lemon. Most places that have more meringue then filler.

I decided to close my eyes for just a second (Like that candy bar you put in your pocket for just a second). I open my eyes and everyone has eaten, gone home, or gone to bed.

LUVH8 Oh wonderful menu maker. May I still have a piece of Lemon Meringue Pie, Scrambled eggs, Combination Pizza (for carnivorous vegetarians) and a cup of DOC’S WORLD FAMOUS NUCLEAR COFFEE> I have my own eating utensils..

Morning TRIBE! The sun was up before me. Worry Worry Worry!

Johanan, if you didn’t already know this, I LOVE pork products. I can do without chicken though so our hatless Chicken @ 2C&C is safe from me.

My office filters are preventing the showing of most pictures posted, particularly those from Potobucket, so I can’t see the button you posted, Johanan, but I’m sure I know which one you posted.

Morning All!

Yes, Grog, it’s the DROOB!

Spend enough years away from eating pork and shellfish and when you encounter them by accident, your body wonders why it ever took them up in the first place. I used to love pork chops, bacon (American or Canadian) and such like when I was a child. Not now.

Of course, should I ever be captured by Borneo cannibals that choice in diet might make me tastier than the average white man to them, but that’s the risk I take… however remote…

Yes, Sir Lew breakfast is still being served. I hope you enjoy it.

Thank You Sister Kab, the lemon meringue pie has slightly more lemon than meringue. I really like your picture.

Johanan, I am flattered that Chris Alan, Slate and Hilo made a special trip just to come for breakfast.

Hello, Grog, Runs With Beer, Lonewolf, Dry, Johanan, Sister Kab, Sir Lew, Digital Frog & Doc T

Good morning tribeandall…..

I’ll join y’all for breakfast now.

May I have some cheesecake and a side of strawberries? Oh, and fill a thermos of Doc’s Coffee!!!!

Have a great Wednesday, everyone

Morning Montana Lady I don’t know if there’s a Thermos out there made of unobtanium.

Hello MontanaLady

Here you go cheesecake, strawberries and two thermoses of Nuclear Coffee. Oh wait! You only needed one. I will just take the other one. I have some errands to do.

Oh Happy Dance! Rice paper, that should work well.

(Walks to the fridge and starts pulling out butter. Takes butter to the table and begins to transfer it from original packaging into rice paper packages)

Um Luv, you’re not heading to BB by any chance are you?

Oh…… ummm. Hello Runs With Beer!

I have a joke for you!

Sergeant: Why didn’t you stop when I yelled, “Company, halt?”

Recruit: Well, I’ve been here for six weeks and I didn’t think I was company anymore.

Snerk

Like it. What kind of errands are on tap for today, hmmm?

There wouldn’t be any exploding vegetation would there?

Nice Doc take ‘em when you can, my friend. Just don’t make yourself ill doing it. We can wait.

Stay safe.

Hi & Bye Doc

Hey! You didn’t bring us any candy!

BBS So, does this mean you can have virtual chocolate* Sister Kab*? For virtual I can have even real dark chocolate.

Doctor Toon in your area where you stock has for Halloween candy has prices on chocolate gone up yet.? National news has prices skyrocket. Where we used to live 3 years ago for Halloween this small town would have football going same night as Halloween, which meant less kids coming each year. Now we live in a bigger neighborhood no HS but elementary and Middle school but gained more children.

Runs With Beer, I am doing a favor for someone. Exploding Vegetation? I do not know what you talking about.

(Loads up bag with Nuclear Coffee, butter, water pellet gun, syringe and grabs lighter from beneath couch cushions.)

I will be back later everyone.

BBS that was a very delicious lemon pie better then resturants. Is there any berry smoothies left that would taste good to.

I’ve got to get use to getting up earlier, get toons done with few comments, and get more serious with text book. Have made advances with text work.

Sister Kab!, would you like to come to Birdbrains with me to do a favor for someone? Oh, and do you have any super glue?

BBS your up to something evil I can feel it and I was over at BB to. Some scarecrow wasn’t it.

Does your kids know of your ways?

Here is a berry smoothie Sister Kab. So, do you have any time for (whispers) making popcorn at Birdbrains?

My kids? They know some of it, but I don’t want to burden them with too many details.

≡≡ P O P ! ≡≡ ♪☼ Good Morning TRIBE! ☼♪

Hello to all those here!

I’ll have Scrambled eggs, Sausage, Hash Browns, Wheat Toast, Brownies and World Famous Nuclear Coffee.

I was over at

Birdbrains

wondered where you where at. That Berry drinks taste very good.

Why not they might think they have a cool mom?

Good Morning Kab.

Have an errand to run. BBL

Good Morning, Everyone! Especially: RwB, LuvH8 (BBS), DocT, Kab Buch, Sojo, & bmonk!

Our local landscape is getting its shower in today.

Yum! I was going to have a slice of Lemon Meringue Pie, but decided to go with the Pumpkin.

I wonder how the World Famous Nuclear Coffee works in an origami rice-paper cup?

Dusty is making it very hard to resist breaking our rules here.

After all, you all know the quickest way to get rid of temptation?

Give in!

(Runs Inside)

Oh! I was dozing and I missed Sojo.

Hello Bmonk, I am glad you were able to greet yourself. How are you today? Oh, and here is your pumkin pie.

[He he he!]

So far the rice paper seems to be handling the Nuclear Coffee.

Maybe it has it confused?

I like to greet myself once in a while. It proves I’m still on speaking terms with me.

Bmonk,

A Rice Cup!!!

I just want to go on record: It Wasn’t Me!

Ummmm… Bmonk You are dripping on the couch.

WAS TOO -

I was there and I had to apologize and everything. Dozing… SNERK

Nope, I’m not–I checked. And the coffee’s all finished anyway.

Wheeee! I can fly! I lucked out in the super-power today.

(Yesterday, all I could do was turn my hair to a shocking orange and back.)

Kewl bmonk I wish it would grow hair.

Please don’t knock over the tent like Sojodid? Oh Mendasock! How did you find my stash of water balloons?

Runs With Beer

What? I have not caused any mischief here today!

You are just too wide awake today Luv.

Duck or drench!

Throws balloon and

POOF!

Hi bmonk and RwB.

Hi LuvH8 - DID NOT!

Pop

agreed Luv, but you’ve got at least one confused person @ BB today.

Poof!

Morning All!

Thanks for the great breafast menu Luv. Too bad I already filled up on the popcorn someone left all over BB.

POP

corn anyone? lots of it at BB. Can’t IMAGINE where it came from. Hey Sojo and yeah she did. Ducks and….

POOF!

Hi Ladyhawk.

Morning, Ladyhawk!

Popcorn is good. Prebuttered too!

Hi Sojo & Ladyhawk

Runs With Beer, You Missed! (Blows Raspberry!)

Sister Kab, my kids already think I am cool, so do their friends. I am pretty sure it is a sign I am doing something wrong.

Pop

hello Ladyhawk Figured I would, LuvH8 It’s been phun and phunnie today, BUT I gotta go. BBL ‘cause I want to check to see if Mr Bluemel has any comments onwhat happened at his toon.

play nicer - be safe (((TRIBE))) POOF!

Hi Sojo bmonk & Luv.

I agree the pre-buttered popcorn is pretty good. Has a wierd coffee aftertaste though…

Hi & Bye RwB (don’t spill!)

Why does he always say be nice?

Bye Runs with Beer!

Ladyhawk, it isn’t as noticable if you drink soda while you are eating it. Or better yet, Nuclear Coffee or CocoMocha.

Unfortunately, I don’t like coffee. I’ll try a Pepsi with it though.

Good Afternoon LuvH8, Lonewolf, Montana Lady, Grog, RwB, Ladyhawk, Kab, Rmom, Johanan, Bmonk, Sojurner, Dry and DigitalFrog.

Whew. Now I think I need a nap.

Afternoon Frankr

Hi Frankr.

Hi, tribe! Sojo - Did you see they just put us under a tornado watch until 10pm?

Rmom - No, I hadn’t noticed but I just looked at my weather radio (due to your comment) and noticed the yellow flashing light. Thanks!

Good afternoon, Tribe!

RMOM They put us under tomato watch again. Dem sneaky neighbors of mine tried leaving a bag at my door last night. How do I stop the onslaught of zucchini gifts.

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠ - Lunch break?

Hi Lewreader - If you knew the answer to that you’d be worth over a million dollars!

Lew - I’ll take free tomatoes. They’re always good for using in chili or something. Zucchini on the other hand isn’t good for anything in my opinion. My mom used to grate it up and stick it in all sorts of things to get rid of it. Sort of like “magical” brownies, but without the special effects.

Hi, Sojo, Rmom & Sir Lew!

Sojo, a little late again! LOL

Hi, Wolfie! How’s your day going? I just posted on PB last night one more quilt and the pictures from the restaurant I ate at last week with my hubby.

Sojo - After last week when the weather alarm woke us up at 3am with an Amber Alert, I changed that alarm (in my hubby’s trailer) to the type of setting you have. With his alarm going off at 5am, he doesn’t need to be woke up in the middle of the night for anything that doesn’t require him to evacuate. I thought tornado season was over for here! The ones here in the house still make the sound, but not for the weekly tests.

Afternoon Everyone!

Lew - sneak them into the office? If I were closer, I’d take some. I enjoy them fresh in salads and we also use them in stews.

Lonewolf - congrats for last night’s win.

In High School I thought of how the signals could be selectively set and wondered why they didn’t (another invention idea I never pursued). In the 80’s at work 3ed shift the alarm went of 13 times between mid-night and 5:00 a.m. Not once was there even a severe T-storm in our county. How would you like to have an operation by a surgeon kept awake all night for nothing? No wonder they weren’t used much until now.

♠Lonewolf♠ - Glad I was just reminded - Congrats on Pool last night!

(Thanks Ladyhawk)

Hi, Ladyhawk. Thank you! :^)

Rmom, I looked at those last night before I hit the rack. Very nice and I thought the restaurant pics were cool.

Thank you, Sojo!

Well, all you good people……………I’ve got an hour or two left and then I can relax. No pool tonight either. I need the rest, so that’s a good thing.

Catch y’all in a few ticks!

P&L

I also like zucchini and used to be able to get some at work. It’s usually too expensive at the store, if you could send some down here I’d take some.

See you later ♠Lonewolf♠.

Wolfie - Congrats!

Sojo - We’ve got one of those early alarms in the basement. I keep it in our hidey hole under the stairs, so if our internet goes out, we can still have some idea of what the weather is doing. I try to keep a battery-powered AM/FM radio there, too, but like having both options available. I am glad they’ve changed them so they can be more selective. I wish they had them so you could pick what type of notification for which type of alert. Flash flood watches & warnings, the light & display would be enough for me all of the time. The alarm in our bedroom I would have it only sound for tornado warnings. The one in our kitchen/main living area can sound for all alerts the counties I select. In other words, I’m glad they’ve improved them, but there’s still more room left for tweeking.

See you later, Wolfie!

Sojo - You need to tell the senior citizens at your church that you’ll take unwanted zucchini. You may get more than you want, but I’m guessing there will be a few gardeners at least who will supply you. That’s one thing we missed when we left one church. There was a guy who grew tomatoes for shows, and he had to have them in “matched sets” - I can’t remember how many in the set of tomatoes, but he had to have matching ones - same size, shape, etc. So he had lots and lots of tomato plants, and would bring his surplus to church. My husband really enjoyed them. I only like tomatoes once they’re “adulterated” - salsa, tomato soup, sauces, etc., and I have to be careful about the seeds. So I was happy that my hubby could have some tasty tomatoes for free and no work on my part!

Sojo - Sounds like the storms are north of us right now, but pretty close. Golf ball sized hail. My sons are in Andover right now, so far, so good. At least I got hold of them to tell them about the tornado watch, and I’m sure the college will herd them if there’s danger. I hope the van they took doesn’t get damaged bad - we only have liability on it.

My alarm lets you select which alerts and counties you want except tornado warnings for your county. If you sleept in a basement you might be interested in flood warnings but not interested in tornado warnings. I quess that bugs me because it makes me fell like I’m too stupid to know what I want and the goverenment has to decide for me.

Sojo - I just heard there was “baseball” sized hail in Reno County.

Rmom - I can hear thunder and see some storms NW of us and I think there moving NE. I’ll check a larger looping radar to see whats going on. I have a small local radar shot that updates every few minutes on my desktop like a gadget. Awhile back if you were in a store and a tornado warning went off they could force you to stay there. When people threatened to sue the law was changed to allow those who wanted to leave to be able to.

Sojo - I agree that I think WE ought to be the ones to decide which alerts we want to receive and in which form.

It seems like the storms are moving E. N ICT might be hit. They are developing slightly to the S so all of ICT might end up getting it. Looks like the worst might be headed toward Hopeandjoy2.

Sojo - Hope&joy might get something out of this. It doesn’t look like the storms up around Topeka are as severe though, the tornado watch area is south of there. Just a matter of paying attention.

Local news should be starting now so I’ll check that tp see whats happening. It’s developing rapidly, don;t know if we’ll be hit before it leaves our area.

Sojo - I have KNSS on, so I’m hearing constant coverage from them. As long as my internet stays up, I can keep an eye on the radar.

Oooo! It looks like a severe storm is heading towards Sojo & Kab!

The way there developing I think we will be hit.

I am SO glad I didn’t go to the state fair today! I really thought about it, because since the youngest has his college class today, I don’t make him do any school work at home on Wednesdays.

Sojo - Do you have a basement handy?

It’s still dry at the state fair. It looks like they will miss all of it.

I’m baaa………………..aaack!

Rmom, it’s looking like rain here right now and the forecast is for thunder storms off and on throughout the night and light showers in the am until noon.

Yes. That was one thing I wanted.

Sojo - I was thinking of the drive in between especially. I probably would have been heading home around now.

Hi again ♠Lonewolf♠.

Sojo - Good to hear! Stay safe!

Hi, Wolfie! - Sounds like Kab’s area is getting hail right now. I heard baseball & hen’s eggs size earlier, not sure what size her area is getting.

In that case it wouldn’t be good. If you left the fair a couple hours from know youd be fine.

It’s starting to rain now.

Sojo - Our basement isn’t very large, but yes, I wouldn’t want to live without one. When I’ve looked for houses near my hubby’s job, they don’t have hardly any with basements - at least ones that don’t leak. I’ve just seen enough tornado damage, that is one of my “must-have” features.

Rmom, I was thinking that same thing and I didn’t want to leave it up too long. :^)

Sojo - Since my night vision isn’t the best, I try to avoid driving after dark. I’m not sure I’d see deer in time.

They just said there is a bad wreck at Kellogg (Hwy 54) & Seneca, and people have to get off of Kellogg. I’m glad I’m not out driving in this! Rush hour traffic & a windy, hail storm isn’t a good combination.

This storm could get pretty nasty for Sojo, and maybe Kab. There’s been funnel clouds on the radar, but not developed enough to call a tornado warning. Lots of hail reports - baseball to quarter sized. I think it will all stay north of me, but our van that my sons took to school might get some hail damage.

Rmom, when I was in the Army, I lived off base in a mobile trailer for a year. We went through some nasty storms in that thing. I’ll NEVER do that a gain!

I’m at they edge of the approching storm and the worst part may hit soon. It’s now moving more SW so I may luck out and have a light part of the middle of the two cells hit where I am and miss the hail. Some baseball size is around the area.

Wolfie - While we were building this house, we lived in a trailer house. Only once did I go to the park’s shelter, but between the torrential rain & spiders, it wasn’t pleasant. My hubby’s on a business trip right now, but if a bad storm is headed toward him when he’s in the trailer, he drives up to his workplace. He’s got keys, so he can always get in. There isn’t a basement there, but at least the walls are cement, and he can go into the restroom or another small interior room. (His office has a window.)

Sojo, did you catch my comment which i have since deleted?

Sojo - Just let us know when it’s over that you’re okay. Since you have a basement, I won’t be too worried.

I’m starting to hear thunder now.

♠Lonewolf♠ - LOL - I lived in a mobil home in the country for a few years. I went through a lot of bad storms but it was nice living outside the city. Hear and see some small hail now.

♠Lonewolf♠ - No.

Sojo - I’m hearing your area is getting pea to marble sized hail. That isn’t too bad, probably won’t cause much damage.

♠Lonewolf♠ ok

Hail is getting heaver and larger.

Sojo - - - Drop me a line when you get a chance.

♠Lonewolf♠ - Okay

Largest hail was only about dime size but about covered the ground. Rain was very heavy but not much wind. Right now it’s letting up.

Hello again Tribe including Rmom, Kab, Sojo, Luv, Lonewolf, Montanalady, RwB, Grog, Doc Toon, Frankr and you know who you are

No warnings or watches for our area which has been dark and damp all day..thunder etc. We are east and just a little south of KC. Hope what you are seeing doesn’t come here

Hi, Hopeandjoy2!

Sounds like tennis ball sized for Kab’s area. Starting to look like the storm is going to come my way, instead of staying north. I’m going to fix me some supper now, just in case the power goes out a little bit later. Whoa! Must be getting close - the thunder shook the house! BBL.

Hi Lonewolf! You did “good” at pool! Daughter in law is perking along and wanted to come home today!!! She is in her own room and will arrive back home tomorrow—2 days after brain surgery…wow!

Be careful around Wichita with storms…we are still just getting thunder and more rain and no severe stuff. Olathe area is having a noisy time.

Hello all we’re getting hammered bad.

Goodard area had hen egg to baseball size hail. I told my daughter if my windows break her car is going to work tomorow.

I think the main part just missed me but got Kab. A new cell is developing W and may get me more direct soon.

Hey KS watch channel 10 news I guess we may have to call home insuance. no sirers.

Rmom could be heading your way. Sounds bad on roof. I got it before it actually hit. Durn 2 lane hwy people taking their durn time.

It’s pour and hailing now.

Sojo

(sojpdojo)

Even though we have a power strip I should get off computer. blowing and hailing and raining.

Hopeandjoy2, the news is awesome! I am so glad for you and your family. Continued prayers and thoughts flowing your way for sure.

Hi, Kab. Please be safe!

Rmom sirens did blow here but more to Haysville and Cowley county.

♠Lonewolf♠ - Thanks. I’ll send more soon.

Had some tennis ball maybe baseball hail. Only landing about every ten feet and real soft so no damage. New cell may miss to the other side of me and may be weakening anyway. Tornado warning now but it is the part of storm that has already passed me.

Chanel 10 is actually showing the rotation looks like a tornado to me.

Haysville is futher south of us not sure which part of Haysville and it’s moving on. I think we got the system from earlier that was in Goddard. Looks like hail has calmed down. Lots of rain.

confirmed funnel near Haysville dang that’s real close to us. From KS you all watching news. near 71st and broadway.

Tornado 7 miles west of Derby. Power out at 71st and broadway. Emergency mangement reports between Derby and Haysville. Showing to on TV. North east section near Piedmont and Beaumnont.

Sorry all this system makes me nervous.

Sirens going off again 151 st S. and Ridge Rd. Getting closer to us.

May God keep you in His Care

I’m in the basement now. I didn’t bring my full-sized keyboard, so I hope I don’t make typos!

New cell is passing over me and almost past. Hail is quarter size at largest size and no wind. Seems like I lucked out with most of it missing me. I don’t think Kab was as fortionate and may be heading toward Rmom.

I headed down to the basement when I heard my area included. According to the map, the tornado warning ends just west of where I’m at, but it is still a little too close to relax. My oldest son just called from school’s parking lot, I had to tell him to go insie the building and wait for his brother to get out of his class. (Their classes are in buildings about a mile apart.) Then he is to call me before they leave so I can tell them if it is safe to leave.

Thanks, hope&joy!

No where not so fortunate hail was fairly big. With bi-level no protection. Try to contact if hubby thinks needed. oh no hailing again.

I’ve only got the weather radio to listen to down here - has the tornado on the ground damaged anything?

Haysville has received power outages and down limbs. Not like they experienced over 10 years ago when almost half the down got wiped out.

News has been agreement and disagreement. spoters did spot tornado don’t know if went back in cloud. system is moving. Getting closer to you. Rmom

I’m using regular tv dish went out. Near Mulvane earlier had a lowing of cloud. It looks like may slow down. Heading directly to Mulvane.

Past us. For tornadoes.

I totally missed out on Hopeandjoy2 news. People in Mulvane are suppose to take shelter tornado percautions. Sirens no longer blowing. A lot of hail earlier. At 47th and Hydraulic roof blown off. Heading to more Derby and Rose Hill.

Sorry all occuping to much of internet. system is going towards Douglass.

Looks like short north of Mulvane.

103rd street and Meridian lower clouds. Some hail.

That picture is on KAKE TV’s website - the hailstone fell in Wichita.

Thanks, Kab! My son just called. I told him they need to stay in town until I call & tell him it is okay to come home. Just not much shelter between there & here.

Correct. Weatherman say they don’t see tornando activity on radar.

Westar reporting 10,000 customers without power with telephone electric lines down. Roofs blown off near 47th and broadway. Haysville has very little power. Sparadic power reported in Haysville. We have power here a lot of roof damages on mobile homes.

I’m going to run up & look out to see if there’s hail here. Need to grab a bite to eat too, I didn’t get time to get my supper fixed.

Still heading to Douglas, KS and Elk county near Gordon. Passing Mulvane now brief tornado touch down. then back up. Greenwood county getting ready for it. All in KS. Where done I hope. Can relax some and quite this weather forcasts. Wow it’s a long system. moving further east. Augusta’s gonna get it. I believe Mulvane is in clear now. Except for whatever damage.

Rmom between your area now heading twoards Udall and Akron. Tornado based cell.

It just started hailing here. Small stuff when I was upstairs, but I can tell by the sounds, it’s larger now!

It will get larger. Your right in the middle of it. Around 47st s. lots of damage. Be carefull there it got scary here.

I think where done here storms spoters agree started from Goddard. Let us know Rmom how your doing okay.

Blew the door open between the house & the garage. (It has done that before when it gets windy.) Had to run upstairs & lock it.

We’re getting really large hail by the sounds of it. Must be big!

Peoples!!!

You are supposed to have virtual adventures! Not scary reality! Please stay safe! Positive Thoughts!

Be careful, friends. If you have to drive, stay safe!

I guess you all have basements for shelter!

Just turned on the Weather Channel for an update.

Good luck!

I’m sure glad I’ve got my son trained to call before he leaves for home I would hate to think of him driving in this!!!

Sister Kab, don’t worry about how much space you (or anyone) take up. We aren’t counting lines we just want to know that you and everyone are safe.

BBS this was an adventure of weather type here in KS. He better stay put let the system go by. Looked at cars there’s damaged not on windows but body. Mad at my daughter to she has to put her car in shelter while mine gets hamered.

Good Evening, LuvH8.

We live in an area south of US 400 where we get sever weather. Just glad got away from work before hit.

Where safe here tornado’s I believe they counted 4 south of us not sure of how many miles. All three of my bosses will be gone tomorrow for Topeka for conferences.

Rmom hows it going for you?

Hello Lonewolf

Sister Kab, that was very rude of your daughter. Maybe you could do unto her car what is done unto your car?  

Holy Smokes!!

Tornadoes! Hail the size of cantaloupes! Hiding in the cellar!

I’m glad I live in a normal area.

Best of luck to all of you in the danger area!

Hi, Frankr.

I told my daughter earlier while caous was happening any window damage I take her car to work. We need a carport not sure can afford one. Rmom how are you doing now. Also hail was not like cantalope’s seemed like watermellom, kidding actuall from hen eggs to softballs size. It’s now calm here and cooling down fast.

Frankr, what state do you live in?

Hi LuvH8 and Frankr. End up with a beautiful sunset. Rmom is the one to be concerened about now!

The Sojourner your right about Rmom are danger is over with. I’m also waiting to hear from her. It’s cooled down real nice. Power is coming back for a lot of folks. Hope Rmom has hers.

That’s why I told Rmom system heading her way earlier. Should be gone by now.

Glad all is well on the storm front! Just sprinkles here so far.

Just heard Winfield is getting hit hard. Not sure when we will hear from Rmom hope all is okay with her. I gotta clear off hubby needs computer. I do have a new lap top bougth from Best Buy two weekends ago. Had a great sell sold out in 10 mins.

LuvH8: I live in historic New England, the land of steady habits, where the worst we have to fear is a few nor’easters and the occasional hurricane.

(and OK maybe a blizzard now and then)

No earthquakes.

oh, and Bridgeport had it’s first ever tornado this summer but that was just a freak.

Good Evening, Tribeandall

Took a while to catch up on all that terrible news. Glad to see everyone involved is still safe.

Stay safe, y’all

Uh-oh. The sudden quiet is very disquieting.

Good Evening, Grog!

Hi ♠Lonewolf♠

I hope our storm-battered friends are ok.

I hope so also, Grog. I don’t like the quiet here either.

Hi Grog - watching the beginning of The Longest Yard.

Hi Sojourner. Glad you’re ok.

I hope it’s the uncut version.

Nope, it’s ther same one on Versus.

Good to see you Doctor Toon. That must be a lot of fun for Boots.

New England? Is that where Sir Lew lives?

Oregon is nice. No blizzards, tornados, hurricanes, droughts, poisonous snakes…. Hmmm kind of boring weatherwise but I am glad about the lack of poisonous snakes in this part of Oregon.

Hi & Bye, Doc!

Hi & Bye, Doc

Hit and Run Doc!

Speaking of hail–nice pic, Rmom!–we had nickle-size hail on Sunday. It was even Nickle-shaped–like miniature frisbees or washers.

And … he’s off!

BAMF!

Nice to stop by bmonk.

Bamp! He is Definitively Off!

Going shopping be back later.

Rmom, I hope you and your family are safe.

Good Night, Grog, Rmom, Sojo, and other peoples who go to sleep at reasonable hours

Hi & Bye, Bmonk!

Catch you later, LuvH8.

Hello all we are safe. Local news showed damage left by monster stom. The Sojourner Rmom I don’t know if you watch local news at 10pm that mobile home court that received damage off of S W street not far from us. Hubby had computer for awhile. When laptop gets ready I will be able to access better. Now others around neighborhoods and other towns have clean up. Surrounding areas flooded due to flooding rain. I won’t be on to much longer need to shower, then catch upon text book. By Friday hope to start next chapter in next book. Class on-line starts Monday.

Past time for my zzzzzz’s. Have a good turnover!

Just popping in to let you all know we’re safe. We lost power for over 3 hours, which is why I couldn’t check in before. My sons made it home okay - but they didn’t think to take raincoats or umbrellas out of the van with them, so they got drenched. No broken windows that I can tell, and I didn’t go outside to see what other damage there might be.

Good Night, Sojo. Rest well.

Know the feeling news said there where 4 tornadoes and weatherman keep arguing what was shown was not a tornado look like one to me said no rotation. From side of town my daughter and her guy choose I told them high area for tornado’s.

Hi, Wolfie! I’m not going to stay up much later. I took out my contacts while the power was still off, because the estimate I was given was that we wouldn’t get power back on until after midnight. Trying to read the computer screen with my bifocals is difficult.

Hi, Kab! Just trying to take a quick look at the local news websites before I head to bed. It was rather spooky looking here for a while - the bottom layer of clouds were moving west, and the top layer was going east at the same time!

Looks like a tornado hit Winfield, according to channel 12. That’s where my hubby & I eat every weekend. The reports are still coming in, but I think it was east of downtown. The people who are already there for the Bluegrass Festival got some high winds, but sounds like other than some awnings, they are okay on the campgrounds.

Pop So much rain here and thunder but nothing severe…Glad you have made it through..Rmom that hail was from your storm tonight? Whopper bopper! Glad you are o.k. and kab hope your car is o.k.

I need a good night’s sleep…bet you do too!

Oregon is a pretty state, LuvH8

My grandson said the best summer of his life was in New England Frankr when his school sent him there to play collegiate baseball for the Pittsfield, Mass team…they had Sun delays there because of the way the diamond and field faced.

Hi, hope&joy! No, that hail stone was on one of the Wichita’s TV station’s websites. It fell closer to where Kab lives.

My car will have to survive main thing no window damage. Rmom when you read this you where among 10,000 with no power then 7,000 2 hours later. Hope everyone has power. Wow I hope not to see that again to soon. We have a bi-level so no real haven from tornadoes. I’ll unfortunty be up for awhile need to read. Prepare for On-line college. I feel there will be a real chanlege to get future tests done. Need to have enough work done from texts so instructors will know I worked hard.

Well, I need to get to bed - past my bedtime! Good night!

Rmom your right about that I imagine Goddard got worse. My daughter’s guy (still mad at my opinionated girl) took pictures told him send to TV stations.

I’m too keyed up. try to read something boring but text isn’t that.

Have a peaceful, quiet night!!

HopingJoy2: I once ate a sandwich in Pittsfield, Mass.

Good mustard, thick and spicy.
