Watching this one closely as we own a farm in Stafford and have people that help us with it in St. John. Fortunately no family there now. Hopefully this lifts soon!! Lots of small towns and obviously farms in that area.

[apocalypt-flyer]

And KSN TV name the elephant in the room. If cell spawning the big tornado in Harper County keeps up its motion of the last hour or so, it'll move towards Wichita.

That tornado's half a mile wide as per KSN TV.

My step-sister-in-law just posted this site. http://imap.tv/ - Live user-uploaded video, tornado reports, and storm tracker updates. First time I've ever seen that site. I also gave her a link here so she can keep up with the updates here. She's in Ashland, KS and says they are hanging out in their basement tonight.
