Thread: Weekend Storms

Hope everyone Is okay from this weekends storms. Looked like a conformed Torando hit Wyandotte and Leavenworth counties Saturday. If I can do anything to help If your home or business was damanged please let me know

Yeah I hope everyone is ok without damage. I was out on Saturday afternoon at Lonestar....Just catching em one after another....storms kept going just to the north of the lake...just a few sprinkles and thunder....no big deal....then I saw lightning and decided it was time to get off. Just as I was tying the boat up to the dock the tornado sirens went off and I am thinking oh crap....get everything loaded up and get out of there. Never more than a sprinkle hit my head. As I come up over the hill on the radio they said the possible tornado was just 4 NE of Overbook, which happens to be pretty darn close...when i get to the top of the hill there is the wall cloud and spotters everywhere driving like crazy, taking pics etc....I believe that is the one that hit along I-70.

Chad glad you were slaying em, and glad you weren't hurt. It Is kinda spooky being on the water when them storms are coming In

Yeah it was a little weird....It really did not look like anything was that close or near that bad, but you are also a little hidden on that lake as it is down in a valley hidden from trees...the lightening was still aways away and was to the north....I am always off the lake the first time i see any lightening..As I drove away I still had not more than a couple sprinkles...not even a need to use the windshield wipers.....there were other boats out and many bank fisherman, so we are all lucky...
