12:09: Report of funnel cloud near KC Royals/Kauffman Stadium
Okay, that's too close to my brother's house.
If you want me to leave, you can put your hands on my hot, tight little body and make me.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"
~ma going to all those around KC. I was hoping this was through for a couple days at least.
Tornadoes are so last season. Stop already.

Looks like things are clearing in KC. Tornado on the ground in Sedalia.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
~ma to the KC folks, and the other midwesterners.
Random things:
- Why did they change the shape of butter so that it no longer fits in my butter dish? Admittedly I need a new butter dish, as my kitchen hasn't been blue in more than a decatde, but I have the classic cheapskate thing where I don't want to buy something to replace something that's perfectly good.
- The male phoebe has finally found his boldness. He brought a bug to his chirping children while the dog & I were on the deck. It took him about six efforts, but he did it. The female is the one who grew up here, and she's way more familiar with me than even her mother (who I think I saw the other day, four phoebes all lined up in a row on my deck railing). Just me, though, she still shys from the SO.
- My iris is up! It's a really lovely deep shade of purple.

The TT shutting down comments made me all, parallel universe! Where there was another group, the disco ball folks, who went basically the same path as us, albeit through the Atlantic first, but then WX and then built their own. I'm curious to see what their iteration looks like.
I guess I'm okay with TT not archiving. I mean, I'm glad we have our stuff, but that was a while ago, so.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And what ever happened to the pancaquistas??

Yesterday I stumbled across a streaming weather report out of Oklahoma City and was sucked in for 2-3 hours. Their coverage was amazing. They had 2 helicopters and at least 2 spotter vehicles on the ground and they were giving people such specific information. Sunday night I found good coverage from a Springfield TV station that was covering all of SW MO and NW Arkansas.
The only streaming report I can get out of KC is seriously lame (all other stations want me to install a plug-in, which I have no patience for at the moment). I've got text only updates from the channel I want to be watching. Frustrating.

Jesse,
I think they created their own place too.

Oh, now I'm terribly curious what all that user-generated places look like!
