T's & P's to everyone in the danger zone.

It is blowing hard here in the Smoky Hills! Trees snapping all over town. The air is filled with a gray haze as the wind whips up assorted dusts from bulk commodity production. Asthma is starting to activate. Will keep everyone posted.

Prayers up!

My neighbor left his dumb trash dumpster in his driveway (like an idiot). It took advantage of the opportunity to discard itself of it's worldly belongings and is roaming free through the cul de sac.

Was just coming on to ask for Ts & Ps for me and the homie @Cardiac Cats. We not only have the wind crap going on but we have this to deal with.

Welp. Weather is setting up real shitty for dangerous tornadoes and/or derecho 2.0. It was supposed to be cloudy today, not so much. We've obliterated the record for warmest December day in the recorded history of the state. Everything has shut down. Below not good

Tees and pees my dusty (ks) and soggy (ia) friends.

I remember my dad telling me about this happening in the early 90s (of course I was far too young to remember) in garden city.

Oh I do. We had two wind days where we had no school. IIRC both days were in October, maybe November. Of course bring a teenager I didn't realize the gravity of the situation I was just happy to stay home and play playstation all day with my friends. I stayed in East Garden Village at the time and the damage from the sand and tumbleweed was pretty crazy.

Garden also had one of these a year or two ago. I remember seeing a story in either the times or Washington Post about the tumbleweeds pilling up after the wind storm.

Maybe it’s time we move to Canada, guys.

I agree. I think the climate is broken here.

Part of the fence in my backyard got mushed by a limb from my neighbor's elm tree.

I am missing some deck chairs. I picked up the kids from school right as they were securing in place and then picked up my youngest from pre school. Driving home through sheets of rain was kind of dumb, but I am glad to have the kids home.

I read I-70 closed due to dust and debris. Dust bowl days in Kansas.

Cardiac Cats · « **Reply #13 on:** December 15, 2021, 06:41:08 PM »

Just heard it’s raining mud in Iowa from all the dust in Kansas. What a deal.

So far so good here, except 77 degrees in my house. AC in December?!

Fires in JC and Chapman from downed power lines.

T's & P's to the Sprinter van that i was following on I35 when the whiteout rain hit north of the Matfield Green service area. Also to the dozen or so semis flipped between Ta town and KC.

I have a white work car today and it looks like I've been driving on dirt roads for weeks without a carwash.

That was a crazy storm system. Wasn't too worried until we lost power and then realized there is only one verizon tower within range of our house, and it's down too.

Photo from Glen Elder Lake (west of Beloit) yesterday. Pretty crazy

That storm sucked balls and taints. I need to get my roof patched up to make it through the winter and then once the weather warms up have most of it replaced.

When I was driving home yesterday, the Missouri River near the downtown kc airport looked just like that!
