Are there hand pumps for 300’ deep wells?

Shoot yeh, you just got to keep a gallon of water in a jug to prime it.

Oh, and you better be in good shape too. ;^)

Reporting from high atop the Council Oak Tree here, no rain and the wind has died down. No sirens went off so far.

I am enjoying watching the sky change constantly with swift moving cloud banks billowing along.

The glorious Arkansas River is a river again.

It’s still OK here in eastern Ontario.

It looks like it will track to the south of us.

How is it in Missouri?

“The glorious Arkansas River is a river again.”

What was it before? Bone dry?

The drought had rendered it a large sandy ditch for most of the last two years.

It's level is controlled by Keystone Dam northwest of Tulsa.

Kansas City North just had the first round pass by about 6:00 CST with hail to the size of small gravel. The second round is about on me now as I can hear the approaching thunderstorm. However, the worst may yet come as it’s still raunchy out in central Kansas per NWS RADAR. When I was a younger lad, I was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma near Lawton. In my off time I would get in my forecaster buddies truck and we would chase a storm, any storm, looking for that elusive tornadic circulation. It was the best of times. Later in my life as a TV Meteorologist (Seal #230 for the sleuths amongst youns) I continued the chase but not with the gusto and wide-eyed wonder that was so fascinating back in 1972. Now, I simply observe, from the seat of my rig, or from the deck of my townhouse, and recall the days of glory when it was so cool to run free without worries of family, children, and finances. I still can’t sleep thru a thunderstorm. It rattles the walls of the house like a Bay Area earthquake would rattle the walls of my family’s humble West Pittsburg, CA home. Just as well, never know when the ‘big one’, whether tornado or earthquake, will finally get ya. Oh, that I could sit once again in the remote observing site at Henry Post Army Airfield and watch the 50 mph advance of a curtain of rain and observe the needle on the recording anemometer as it swished its way to 62-72-82 mph! All alone with no one but my pounding heart. What a rush! Why would anyone so inclined want to return to the banality that is Bay Area weather? Hummmm?

We JUST had rotation out the back window. Passed just to our west. The wife, our 17 year-old daughter and I are volunteer firemen/firechicks and have not been called out yet, so I’m guessing it did not touch down. Fingers crossed and hoping all is well elsewhere. We did have some trees blown down in our little town, and we have the worst part of the storm on the way.

“Has the issue of the May ‘03 tornado in KS/MO been resolved as F-4 or F-5?”

It was a high F4...not quite F5...though an F4 is nothing to sneeze at.
