My daughter and her three young children just moved to Ottawa just SW of Kansas City recently, she has called us a couple of days ago but as of right now does not have a phone connected, the storm tracks are mostly to the west of her as I have been keeping track of.
I am too hoping she is safe and has the intellect to be prepared.

I have seen this kind of devastation in Wichita Falls, Texas,in 79, searched through the night for my son and pregnant DIL...They were safe though their apartment was badly damaged and one car totaled. It was a night and sight I shall never forget..Prayers for all in harms way.
