Don't forget about Greensburg, KS in 07. That wiped out 95% of the town and killed 11 people. It was basically 2 tornadoes that formed together.Originally Posted by TLSheff
Yea I can agree with that, but its not so bad down in the southern part of the state, alot less activity. The "Alley" spans across Kansas and Missouri as well. Look into what happened back in 2011 to Joplin. 158 were killed, i think. It was only a F3/F4 but it was still horrible.
I enjoy the southern area, I was working a summer job with my father in Tulsa a few years back, we were doing the top out plumbing for a whole housing edition that was being built, almost done with it and a F2 wiped it all out over the weekend. All that was left was the foundations and a couple were stress cracked. I personally have never seen one, or had one touch down around me, went into shelters as a precaution but all just precautions.
Not common where I live, but part of me would actually like to witness one in real life.... from a very safe, relatively far away location, through binoculars.
