Sitting in a hotel in Grear Bend right now. Got some awful big thunderstorms rolling on by out the window. Other than a bit of decent hail, nothing to report just yet. Area is under a tornado watch though. Fingers crossed I don't get to experience my first tornado tonight...

Welcome to Kansas It's ok. If a tornado approaches, just climb the nearest mountain .

I see a tornado warning southwest of you and east of you. Were you there last night when they had multiple tornados?

[MPMalloy]

DA (app) reports tornado(es) in the Wichita area.

My DA app has been sounding Tornado alerts for KS, OK, & TX all day long. Iowa has a 4-day Flood Watch coming up. The ground is still saturated from last month.

Glad you're safe but remember, if the tornado picks up your house, PM me and I'll give you the address of my ex as a landing site.

All of you be safe out there. Here in KC we've had massive amounts of rain and issues from the fallout associated with the flooding that comes with that. No tornado's so far in my AO but the rain has taken out rails from from St. Louis to Kansas City and from Oklahoma into Kansas to Kansas City, which has forced Amtrak to stop running between St. Louis and Kansas City for the foreseeable future.
It's rained so much here in Kansas City that rain gear only works for a short amount of time before it becomes pointless.

Tuttle creek lake is 8feet from capacity
Milford lake is 9 feet
ACOE has said they could start releasing water from Perry lake as early as today
Kansas river at Le Compton is forcast to reach one foot above flood stage mid day Sunday ( without water releases from any of these lakes )

There's a big storm heading in right now with heavy rain and severe weather forecast for tonight. Shit's about to get real quicker than you can say 1993

Yeah it's about to get nasty. I brought a train into Kansas City today and the route took me over both the Missouri and Kansas rivers. They are extremely high, and much higher than I like to see them. In several places it is very common to see whole, very large trees floating down the river, so don't thing your lifted 4x4 can make it across any standing water. 2 days ago I watched a girl try to ford a water that was at least a foot deep under a train bridge I happened to be stopped on and apparently she thought the faster her car went the better it would be, it didn't help.
