KC guys, you ok there?
« Reply #15 on: May 05, 2003, 03:04:17 PM »
OK here where I live.

My sister lives in KCK.  They're OK (she lives off Parellel Parkway, near 88th), but alot of their friends didn't get so lucky.

My brother-in-law is a Firefighter, so he's a little busy today.

I'm not sure if it's true, but I heard on the news today that they literally had cows and horses stuck up in trees over in Wyandotte County.

One of the guys at work (near Parkville), saw the debris going by his basement window and thought they were in for it for sure, then it lifted up and came back down about 2 blocks from his house.

Yeah...they will do that jumping stuff on ya.  My dad lived in West TX when he was younger and saw one that took out every single house in a straight line for about a mile then jumped up in the air over the elemetary school (that happened to be full of kids at the time) and landed on the other side and then proceeded to tear up every single house for another couple of miles.

Yeah, Cobra is OK. It missed him too.

Thanks for asking Mav.

I’m fine.

These suckers didn’t get me this time but I did live through a Kansas City tit twister as a child.

But that’s another story………

Thorns,

Stringer = Cobra. :)


Glad to hear ya made it thru ok, all of yas who live down in that area.

Up here in the north country, we all have cement basements to protect us against tornados. I can't imagine not having a basement! I hear there are lots of houses without basements in the south. That's gotta be a scary proposition.
