Just like the Wizard of Oz




If you've read a newspaper or watched the news at all this weekend, you'll know that the town of Greensburg, Kansas was totally demolished by a Tornado this past weekend (pictures at http://www.kansas.com/static/slides/050507tornado/). Wichita wasn't hit but the sirens went off Sunday morning as a twister began to form in the air at the east end of town. It never touched down, but we were all huddled in our basement at church (definetely the best place to be during a natural crises in my opinion) and we were all pretty spooked after seeing what happened the night before just an hour and a half's drive away. The weather is still crazy here with flood warnings and severe thunderstorm warnings left right and center. I'm dying to get to Vegas on Thursday where all I have to contend with weather-wise is getting too sunburnt (reminder to self: sunscreen SPF 45).
