The Tonganoxie Split

You may have seen a lot of weather related stories on the news as of late concerning flooding and excessive rain in the Midwest. Unfortunately, that doesn't include us. We're dry as a bone here ... even when you consider that areas around KC have been getting more rain than we have. Must be that infamous Tonganoxie Split they talk about. Legend has it that the ol' Chief Tonganoxie is buried somewhere 'round these parts and it's his spirit that keeps us safe and dry. Well ... that theory was blown away (no pun intended) when a tornado hit back in 2000. It has cooled down though ... which is nice ... but a little rain would be nice. Just not as much as what our neighbors have been getting.
