Our news tonight showed pictures of big chunks of airplanes that had been blown into fields, from that factory that was destroyed in Wichita...I'll bet that's why they first thought that the airport had been hit.

I sure hope you've got a basement or cellar to hole up in!


These poor people:

A man listens for the sound of trapped people in the Pinaire mobile home park in Wichita,Kansas after a tornado cause massive destruction in the area on Saturday night April 14, 2012. Tornadoes were spotted across the Midwest and Plains on Saturday as an outbreak of unusually strong weather seized the region, and forecasters sternly warned that "life-threatening" weather could intensify overnight.
