Well, spuck, at least kiss your old stomping grounds goodbye as you're swept up to a different place.
Thanks for the second pic, Merce--something to help remember where I lived up to a couple evenings ago. I hope to find my way back soon.

There's no place like home. There's no place like home. . . .

Kansas tornadoes last night

Scouts praised for response after tornado hits Iowa camp
By TIMBERLY ROSS, Associated Press Writer 3 minutes ago

". . . Tornadoes also raked Kansas on Wednesday, killing at least two people, destroying much of the small town of Chapman, and causing extensive damage on the Kansas State University campus. . . .

"The tornado that struck Kansas State University's campus in Manhattan destroyed a wind erosion laboratory . . . ."

Damage to K-State estimated at $20M following overnight tornado
Wichita Business Journal

"Among the buildings at K-State sustaining damage were Cardwell Hall, Ward Hall, Burt Hall, and the engineering complex.

"The Wind Erosion Laboratory, which had been located near Weber Hall, was destroyed.

"Ward Hall houses K-State's nuclear reactor. Although Ward [in the heart of campus, just north of the Power Plant] itself was damaged, because of the design of the building, the reactor remains safe and unharmed, said Mo Hosni, head of K-State's department of mechanical and nuclear engineering."

Officials Tornadoes kill 2 in northern Kansas

So, it was our public "servants" up to their old tricks again?!
Why can't officials just leave us alone and keep their stupid tornadoes to themselves?
