Thunder and Rumble and Tornado season is here!

Tornado season is starting for us. This does not mean that this time of year is the only time of the year when tornadoes happen. They will also happen in the summer. I have been riding my bike a whole lot and I think that I got a sunburn. Ouch! It's not too bad though.

Still Cold?

Yep. Here in Kansas it is still cold. But looking at the forecast for Thurs. to the weekend, it looks like it is going to warm up. Go to weather.gov and click right where we are in Ks. We are on the bottom center of Ks. This cloudy weather can put some of us into bad moods. Weather has an effect on our additudes. On sunny days you may feel cheerful and sunny. On cloudy, rainy, and stormy days, we feel all grumpy and moody. Keep a record of your moods and the weather. After a few weeks, look at your records and see the pattern that goes with the weather. Kids and adults, this is an awesome project to do. Wait till the summer those of you who are new in Kansas. The heat here will make you want to go swimming every day in the summer!

Revising my book

Actually, they come down here to Wichita, then they get hit by another twister. Little bit of revising.Almost done with it.

Tornado Season is just ahead

Tornado season for the area we live in is from April to May. Although please remember: Tornadoes will or can happen at any time, anywhere, or even when it is not twister season. This is very important to remember. Look at my post about Tornado safety please. And get the Tornado Emergency Box ready and have it in your basement, tornado shelter, or talk to a neighbor who has a basement about setting up a box and having it in their basement or shelter. Should be an exciting summer this year. Good Luck!

Lock-in along with snow. Crazy week.

Saturday I went to the middle school lock in at St. Annes. I managed to stay up all night. Sunday I was exhausted and slept alot. Now, there is winter weather heading our way again. Great. 9-12 inches expected tomorrow and Wed. Lots of snow shoveling.

Winter weather

Winter has finally made it to Wichita and the surronding area. However, some precations have to be taken. See the national weather service website for more details. You will notice a big big big area is covered with winter weather watches, advisories and warnings. Please look at the post with winter storm weather safety. Snow will be 3-5 inches deep by tomorrow. Be careful while driving to and from work.

Hunt for the Twister

I am working on writing a book about a young girl named Agnes. Her Dad is a storm chaser and he takes her with him often on tornado hunts. One hot day in July, Agnes and her Dad go on the usual tornado hunts. This tornado hunt though would change Agnes' life. A violent tornado that they were chasing heads straight for their hometown, Dorrence. After a second tornado comes through in a different storm, Agnes and her parents drive down to Wichita to live with some relatives.
