Early Friday morning a storm hit the area of Kansas where I live.
Some weather reports say a FI tornado hit the area, others say it was straight line winds of over 100 mph.
The storm hit 4:00 Friday morning, the winds, large hail, and over 4 inches of rain in less then 10 minutes. The electricty went out right away and my finished basement started to flood to to the heavy rains.
My husband hooked up the generator and we started to bail water.
Many of the homes in the towns near where we lived had heavy damage.
Schools were cancelled Friday and many be cancelled Monday as some of the schools also have storm damage.
My husband and I have been fortunate as we had the generator
(A must when living in the country) and our power just came back
on a short time ago!
My daughter's horse died yesterday as a result of the storm.
Hubby is check the outside of the house for storm damage.
