These tornadoes were north of my house on the eighteenth - about fifteen miles or so. I'd heard there were a few, but had no idea this video was on YouTube!
Philip Woods has it - the word was Rusty bought it from Rufus some years ago. I don't know if it's the place on the highway near the curves at the county line or somewhere else for sure.
Phil sent the email to Steve (Road Pig) and he forwarded it to me. I didn't even know about it til then.
I've lived here on The Poor Farm most of my life. Located in western Kansas, where the wind blows - supposedly the Dodge City weather station at the airport has the highest average wind speed in the CONUS. It would be the "sticks" out here if there were any trees, but I like it. I really like the spring - when it is calm, and the smell of the fresh wheat and other plants fill the air with a unique "green" smell. My real love is the fall, when the air is cooling and calm, when you breath the air it is like a drink of cool water. Speaking of cool water, my well produces some mighty good tasting stuff. It is hard water for sure - all the faucets have lime on them, but I'll take it over soft mossy smelling reservoir water from the city any day.

Whoa! A leetle too close for comfort!
I hope y'all saw the poor coyote getting the Hell out of Dodge about two thirds through the video!
Sure did! Man, he was haulin' butt!
Jeff - do you know whose farm that was? WOW - scary stuff! Glad you all are OK!
