It's still tornado season here in the Midwest and we have a good chance of some more severe weather this week ... we'll keep our fingers crossed! Came across an article in a weather blog I visit every day related to the 50th anniversary of the Ruskin Heights tornado that hit the Kansas City area. The F5 tornado was 71 miles long! Whew! Click here to see some wild pictures of the tornado and damage that took place in our neck of the woods 50 years ago on Sunday.

Do We Build An Ark?
The thought of building an arc crossed our minds. While we avoiding the devastating tornadoes in south-central Kansas, we were blasted with over 3 1/2 inches of rain over the weekend. Roads were closed, counties evacuated, and water invaded basements all over the Kansas City metro area. Our sump pump has been running almost non-stop and the ditch on the east side has been full ... but we're safe and sound in the Midwest, but our thoughts and prayers go out to those less fortunate in Greensburgh, KS.*** Quick Update! ***
Just a quick note to let you know that we are alive and well in Kansas. The deadly storm that destroyed the town of Greensburg, KS is quite a ways away from where we live. No tornadoes here - just a lot of lighting and torrential downpours. We'll update our rain totals and weather later this week ...
