That's a nasty looking storm! Glad to hear everyone I know in the area is OK.
Just watched a tornado hit Lawrence, Kansas. For those playing along, Lawrence is located about 40 miles away from Kansas City. The weird thing is that it hit an apartment building about 2 blocks from where I lived there a few years ago.
Since I'm writing anyways, here's an article from the local news about last weeks Tornado:
This is from KMBC Channel 9 news in Kansas City, Missouri very weird

When you look at the damage the tornadoes did, you may wonder how someone could have survived. But in one case, you may wonder how fate could have lined up the way it did.
"I was squatting down ... just sitting down," Lester Dowdle said.
Dowdle's foundation wall saved his life, but everything else was gone.
"I had a whole bunch of bank statements in the bedroom," Dowdle told KMBC's Martin Augustine.
Dowdle's bank statements were blown skyward. Augie Sievering found the statements in the middle of a road.
"Of course, it was all wadded up and muddy," Sievering said. "When I rubbed the mud off, I could hardly believe what I was seeing."
Dowdle's bank statement was blown from Wyandotte County, Kan., to Sieverling's rural home, which is about 1 mile east of Mooresville, Mo. That is about 100 miles northeast of Wyandotte County.
But to be honest, that distance is not as impressive to Sievering as is the precision of where it landed.
Sievering is Lester Dowdle's uncle.
"Lester is my nephew," Sievering said.
Dowdle said that he shouldn't have any trouble getting his bank statement bank.
"He called my mom, and he's going to send it back," Dowdle said.
