Reading Kansas Tornado Discussion

[Jim Saueressig]

I have no idea where discussion went so if this isn't right send it elsewhere.

I just posted over a hundred photos from within Reading today. They were batch processed and put on Flickr.

A few photos just really spoke to me.

Those photographs really capture the dark side of the tornado or strait line winds. Thats a good reminder that we all need to be prepared and stay safe when severe weather strikes. Thanks for sharing that with us Jim.

Thanks for posting these Jim. I watched this thing go through on radar yesterday and knew from the base velocity images that it was bad. Prayers for these people from Mobile.

I can't post in REPORTS, which is where this really belongs, but I don't imagine anyone will mind if I tell you I have posted a vid of the Reading tornado:

I was there as well today. I stayed the night in Osage City and joined a friend that is from there to help with clean up. I had to be ata graduation in OC at two so when the highway patrol said they would not allow us in until at least noon I had to split. My buddy took a lot of the same shots ... it sucks when it's your town. :-(
