Vote to PIN...shit is going to hit the fan...
Folks if you live in red shaded areas on this map be prepared…Have your safe place stocked up with water, medical kit, snacks, important paperwork and jewelry…along with pet cages and other sentimental things like family albums ect. Last night was just the start of this outbreak. For the next three days you should be watching the weather in your area…Tornado Alley hasn`t fired up hardly at all this year, but the time is upon us now…The main thing is be prepared…By the looks of things tuesday will be the worst day for people in Oklahoma and Kansas…

The weather channel just posted a special bulletin: [ link to beta.weather.com] They are comparing today with the big breakouts earlier this year.. SPC "high risk" days in 2011
Apr. 16: "Carolina Outbreak" (69 tornadoes...32 in NC...13 in VA...26 killed)
Apr. 26: "Mid-South Outbreak" (56 tornadoes....1 killed in AR)
Apr. 27: "Southeast Outbreak" (232 tornadoes...315 killed)It lays out all the ingredients that makes a serious outbreak for strong twisters..worth the read.
Most local news stations in the midwest also have links on their web pages that you can have them text you when severe weather is in the adjacent counties and moving towards you. These are very handy in hill country where visibility is limited. Be safe and be prepared..I know we all think this can never happen to us, but the fact is it can…I have experienced several tornados here in KS. I`ve seen everything from F5` to small f1`s...I`ve helped pick up the damage after they have moved through and it`s crazy what a little ol F2 twister can do...My father was a first responder to the Udall, Ks tornado years ago..The stories he has told me about that experience are frightening and still haunt him till today...Just be weather smart...
