April 2012 U.S Tornado Outbreak (warning, north, Kansas)

Just to add a little humor to such a serious thing. I'm pretty sure this weather man had a mistype. I mean, I don't think we'll actually need a plane for these storms!

If that means a chance that it wont get nearly as bad as they said, then I believe so. I mean, there's always that possibility. But I found out that the local news stations have free weather alerts through texts...so I've got all the surrounding counties set. Hopefully everyone is prepared for the worst though. All it takes is one tornado...proven by the Joplin tornado.

The SPC has decided no one will feel left out of the high risk potential for tornadoes today.

Storms firing up in Kansas already.

Tornadic activity beginning now and could last 48hrs. Almost every supercell developing has a Tornado warning on it.

Be safe everyone. I'll check back later.

Lots of tornado warnings being issued, and there is some flooding.

Officier just mentioned heavy rain and wind right now. Counties is in circled area. Strong Cell in Republic area this time he just said.

And in 40 minutes another cell will be appoaching.

Most likely a Tornado in Stafford County, Kansas. 3D view shows it clear. Also could be a debris ball.
