3/30/07 NOW: TX / OK / KS

[Caleb Kimbrough]

Anyone on the warnings going on for Geary & Waubaunsee counties in KS? They're due to expire at 2215 CDT.

I live in Manhattan and the TOR warned cell passed just East of here...I went out and drove through it.

Nothing but a lot of rain and some wind. Lightning was pretty impressive too.

I also core punched the Severe warned storm just West of Topeka earlier....I was hoping for some hail but all we got was a bunch of rain. I'll go post a couple of photos in the reports thread...
