I hope all of you and your family & friends are safe and I pray that those who are effected are getting the help they need.

I was lucky, the tornado went north of me, there's a lot of damage in Bowling Green, Ky home of the Corvette Plant and museum they both were damaged.  Thats 30 miles from where I live, Cave City, Ky also was hit that's 9 miles from me.

62131, glad it missed you. I didn't here about it till saturday morn news. Didn't catch its exact path, hope it was clear of Fatnlows area. My stepdad said it missed him by 10 miles and hit west Branson. Sounds like it had a long path and many deaths.

Glad to hear you guys are OK.  Thoughts and prayers to all the communities that weren't so lucky!
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Just a bit windy here today. By 11am it was still sunny 72 and wind at just 35 sustained. Crawled up from there, electric power quit at 12;45, by 1:30 we were continuous at 47-48, gusting up to 80+.  By 3pm it was real dark and you couldn't see much more than a block or two, sky just full of dust/leaves. Lots of big rigs flopped over. Power back on here at 4pm. I took the dog out to pee about 4;30 when wind let up, shouldn"t have hollered at him..... got grit in my mouth🥴

North Central Ks got prarie fires and gusts at 100mph.🤯
Dodge peak 84, Russel 100, Salina 90.
Looks like Minnisota is up next for tornados.

This morning we got pummeled with snow ❄.
The valley had a foot of snow. We haven't had a storm like that in years.  Usually it's an inch or two then melted by afternoon.
At work helping the boss shovel till he could get out the kabuta tractor and plow.  Then it was get the snow off the cars in the back. Warm em up to move stuff to work on.
Did more snow removal than working on cars.
Finally got the dash sorted out in the square body truck.
Came home, busted out the snow blower (needs a tune up big time) and did some neighbors sidewalks.
Im exhausted.  Need a break from the snow but, more expected tomorrow.
I have PTSD.
