Twisters, Take Two

There's more trouble brewing in Kansas tonight. At 8:05 MST, another tornado touched down near Katie's family, this time 2.5 miles due west of the Roenbaughs, and a half-mile west of Grandma Joy's house. Everyone is physically fine, and the houses still have roofs. But the golf ball-sized hail accompanying the tornadoes probably did their thing to the crops, there's wide-spread flooding across south-west Kansas, and the surrounding community needs help. We'll post more as we hear more, but it looks like the tornadoes are dying down for now, even if a severe weather alert remains in effect until 4 AM tomorrow morning.

If you're looking for good coverage, KWCH has live video on their website, KSN has some decent video coverage too, and the National Weather Service has live radar. (Java required for the NWS site)
