Forecasters: Dangerous storms moving into Midwest
Fox News.com ^ | April 14, 2012 | AP

Baseball-sized hail is tearing the siding off homes in northeast Nebraska, a tornado has touched down in Kansas and forecasters are warning residents across the nation's midsection to brace for "life threatening" storms.

The National Weather Service says a rain-wrapped tornado touched down in southwest Kansas on Saturday afternoon, while at least three possible tornadoes were reported earlier in central Oklahoma.

No injuries were immediately reported. But forecasters are expecting the most dangerous weather later in the day and are warning residents across the region of possible fast-moving tornadoes overnight.

Officials say a large area spanning from Minnesota to Texas could be at risk.

In Nebraska, Boone County Sheriff David Spiegel says large hail also damaged vehicles and shattered windows in and around Petersburg, about 140 miles northwest of Omaha.

Thunder and lightning like crazy here in Southwest Omaha. It’s bad just south of us.

I’m using Opera v11.62 and it won’t let me view it. Darnit. I’ll switch over to Firefox and see if that works.

That link hung up Firefox. I had to force quit. Maybe too many people are accessing.

Romney supported violent storms in 1971. I have the video around here somewhere . . .

I got it loud and clear. The super-cell has split in two and another one has formed. All kinds of weather coming to Woodward and surrounding environs. Batten down the hatches (and I don’t mean Orrin)!

Weather Channel is giving TOR-CON indexes up around 8 and 9 for some areas. That usually means deadly tornados are coming.

I think the story was that Romney put Toto on his car in a campaign swing through the Midwest in support of more turbulent weather.

Better unplug electric things if it’s coming your way. That lightening can do real damage to electronics!
