Kansas/Missouri/Iowa girls

My family is safe here in oklahoma! I am still praying for you gals in Kansas and Missouri!

I talked to my cousin today from Joplin......she got a lot of damage at her house and didn't realize it until today. When the storm came in she loaded up and went to our grandma's house that had a basement. She went to her house today and it has major structure issues. The floor was unstable, she couldn't even collect a few things. I can't imagine another storm going through there again. Praying hard for that area.

We saw the KFOR feed, too. Scary.

The first line of storms is set to hit us in about an hour... hopefully everyone is staying safe and taking shelter where needed.

We are ready to head to the basement.. unfortunately Jeff is at work so I'm freaking out inwardly until about 930 when he'll be home. So glad you're okay Tara!!

That line from oklahoma is headed straight for Joplin and then me.. which is the absolute LAST thing they need right now

4 dead in oklahoma.

[BrattyMeg]

Stay safe girls!
Do y'all have weather radios or apps on your phones for cases when you lose power?

[heathergw]

Lifting up those in the DFW, TX area in my prayers too... Joana just told me that the sirens are going off by her

We have a weather radio. Also, if you have Walkie Talkies, you might check and see-- ours has a weather "channel" on the walkie!

Also, ladies looking to get hit tonight... remember the following:

-Bike Helmets (these help protect from flying debris if the storm goes over)
-Close-toed shoes and socks (good if you're climbing out of the rubble or something if things go REALLY bad)
-Leashes for pets (keeps them with you in case it gets really bad)

I'm charging my phone now and I have a weather channel app.

J already took his football helmet to the basement lol

Most of the severe stuff was north and east of us so far. We hid out in Pratt where dh works for about 1/2 hour as some stuff moved through around 4:00. I guess we got some hail and wind here while we were gone but nothing since then. Stay safe everyone!

We're safe here in Wichita for now. It's quiet. Looking at the radar, I don't think we are in the clear yet, but I think most of the really bad stuff has gone around us.
