Just looked on radar. That storm's about on your front door Phil. Stay safe.
Power is out. We're on the emergency generator. Severe thunderstorm watch just got upgraded to "warning."
Tornado's reported north of us.

local wind gust just reported at 93mph.... yes... ninety three miles per hour. 
Wind is really starting to howl. What to do, what to do. Fired up the grill to cook brats, what else. Does pay to live in a holler. Wind is going over the top of me for now.
I may be making light of the weather. It is not good. Warm, humid with wind. I've lived in tornado ally long enough to know things can get real bad real quick.
Worst of the T-storm has passed over. Gust up to 70 are persisting though. Over 150K without power and getting worse.
Local weather just said the T-storm ground track is NW at 80mph.
Roof ripped off a hanger at KCI.... controllers evacuated the tower.

Almost like spring weather. Hmm.
All you people in the windy areas stay safe! Hope this is just a freak storm and not the start of something.
We are expecting record high highs and record high lows, if that make sense! Right now as I write this local temp is 57ºF so we have already broke the record for this date of 55ºF set in 1971.
Record low for this date was set in 2016 at a -2ºF!

We're among the 150K, power went out at 6:30pm. Doesn't look like its going to be restored anytime soon. But at least its not 70 degrees anymoreWorst of the T-storm has passed over. Gust up to 70 are persisting though. Over 150K without power and getting worse.

Oh man that’s terrible. The news is saying that 500K are without power throughout the Midwest.
According to the power company, our outage has been assigned a crew. So it looks like it may be back on soon, hopefully. Its gonna be a long haul for a lot of others though. Despite being 70 yesterday, its cold now... Wife says its 56 in our house right now
I noted at or near 100 mph winds all over Kansas. I wouldn't expect utility poles to take that. We have a lot of leaning or broken poles around here and I'm not aware of any breeze like that. I hope they can get it back soon.According to the power company, our outage has been assigned a crew. So it looks like it may be back on soon, hopefully.

We got lucky last night No freezing rain or at least not enough to be busting up trees and taking power lines down
And it's 15 and dropping ( but at least it's a dry cold)
Guys, I really feel for you all - I refer back to my previous of 27th November, our bad weather ain't as bad as you seem to be having. Keep safe and I hope they get the power back as soon as poss.
It looks like a lot of the outages in KC were caused by downed trees, but I suspect that downed poles account for more than a few as well.
I didn't realize you had trees in Kansas!
West of here, not many. Here we have LOADS of em. We're up on the Missouri river bluff, so it's pretty heavily wooded. The rest of Ks, not so much.I didn't realize you had trees in Kansas!
North MoKan is kind of the wooded boarder to the great plains.
