That's the squall line? That could play a big role in tomorrow's situation.

Re: Tornado outbreak again today?
Tornado Warning remains in effect until 930 PM CDT for
northeastern Kiowa... northwestern Pratt... eastern Edwards...
southwestern Stafford and extreme southeastern Pawnee counties...
At 849 PM CDT... National Weather Service meteorologists and storm
spotters were tracking a large and extremely dangerous tornado 7
miles south of Fellsburg... or 6 miles northwest of Haviland... moving
northeast at 32 mph.
* Locations impacted include...
Centerview...
Fellsburg...
Trousdale...
Hopewell...
Belpre...
Byers...
Macksville...
rural residences of eastern Edwards... northeastern Kiowa...
northwestern Pratt... southeastern Pawnee and southwestern Stafford
counties.
At 845 PM... storm chasers reported a large tornado 3 miles west of
Haviland. Persons in the path of this dangerous tornado need to take
shelter now!
This storm is considered a supercell storm. Destructive hail the size
of baseball or larger and very dangerous straight line
winds will also be likely near the tornadic portion of this storm.
The safest place to be during a tornado is in a basement. If in a
Mobile home... evacuate to a substantial structure. Get under a
workbench or other piece of sturdy furniture. If no basement is
available... seek shelter on the lowest floor of the building in an
interior hallway or room such as a closet. Use blankets or pillows to
cover your body and always stay away from windows.
Heavy rainfall may obscure this tornado. Take cover now! If you wait
to see or hear it coming... it may be too late to get to a safe place.
Tornadoes at night are especially dangerous. Do not wait until you
see or hear the tornado... it may be too late. Take cover now!
A Tornado Watch remains in effect until 400 am CDT Saturday morning
for southwestern Kansas.

Ellis may very well have been devastated *prays it isn't the case*
