Any one in the KS RR group have any personal stories about this round of Tornadoes? Any one hear anything interesting on their scanner's?

My In laws live in Stockton. My wife briefly spoke with them last night and they were ok. No injuries to report of in Rooks Co. The grain elevators took some pretty good damage as well as some business in the main part of town, mainly windows and debris. My inlaws had their neighbors 2 sheds blown into their yard. They were without power as of 0130hrs, however it was suposed to be restored by the late morning if not before. The tornado was reported as small(unknown F category). First one in a while that had actually hit in town.. They are coming down this weekend so, I'll get more details and pass along.

In Stockton the residents have limited weater as the city generates their own power and it is partially out. They have been asked to not use water at the time as the only available water is in the water tower, wich is in short supply. Here's some photo's of the damage.

dfndr13. Those are pretty cool (Picture wise) Im glad to hear everythigs all right. My boy was with me an took the pick I posted and since he is 16 it very rare I get him to do anything with me.(I KNOW everything PHASE)

But that day was great I loved it and so did he. He got home and pulled the photos off the camera, made a CD and was off to show his friends.

Last night when I got home after dinner with my wife he was over with 3 other kids wanting to go take Lightning pics since another round was coming thru about 2200 hrs. I had to but his bubble and tell him no but gave him the camera and told him to practice. Ill see later on today what he got from last nights storm.
