It looks like it is going to be a bad night Weather wise. The Weather services are calling for a very bad night with large hail, straight line winds in excess of 90-100 mph, and strong long track tornado's for our area of South East Kansas. Computer forecasting models for the day bear striking similarities to the conditions present on June 8, 1974, when 39 tornadoes touched down in the southern Plains and killed 22 people.
I have the Weather maps up on my computers and am just waiting to see what happens. Below are some on the sites that I have up on my desktops right now.
