Today we left nowhere and are still nowhere in Wichita Kansas. Its amazing how you can drive for 300 miles and the scenery really doesn't change, but at the same time its so different and beautiful. The rolling hills of Nebraska and Kansas are incredible, as well as the towns. We drove through one town called Stockton today and all I could picture were scenes from Twister. It was a really cool town though, very small and quite "cute" for lack of a better word. Then after settling in in Wichita we decided to have a real meal for once and went to a place called Granite City Brewery. It was like the Ram for those who know what I am talking about, literally. Same food choices, same kinds of beer, just a different state. It was great too. We were treated like royalty while we were there. Once they found out we were from Seattle only there to chase storms we had people walking up to us all night. But now I turn to our storms.
It has made National News and when I sat down tonight to do some homework, I pulled up yahoo, and there was the headline. How bad is it? I guess we will find out tomorrow, and all I know is that last time the National Weather Service gave "high risk" 24 hours in advance was in April of 2006, where over 91 tornadoes touched down and it stretched across 13 states.

Tomorrow, the storms should start forming along the dryline at around 3-4PM, so it will be a waiting game and placement. Right now though, "high risk" has been issued from Salina KS, down to Oklahoma City. Wichita is right in the middle. Thats all for now Ill try and post in the morning an exact location of where we will be, also look for pictures! Hopefully of some tornadoes...
