Kansas she said…
June 13, 2008
Greetings from tornado alley,
Gardner missed a couple of whoppers this week. Neighbors to the west and to the north have not fared as well. Here are some facts, and some fun quotes to liven the day:
The Country with the Most Tornadic Activity: U.S.
The City with the Most Tornado Hits: Oklahoma City
The Biggest Known Tornado: Hallam, NE, 5/22/2004. Two and a half miles wide.
The Deadliest Tornado: The “Tri State Tornado” of MO, IL and IN, 3/18/1925. 695 fatalities.
The State Song of Kansas: Home on the Range
“We must be up inside the cyclone!” -Dorothy
“She fell from the sky, she fell very far. And Kansas she said is the name of the star.” -Glinda
“The house began to pitch, the kitchen took a slitch! And landed on the wicked witch in the middle of a ditch. Which was not a healthy situation for the wicked witch. Who began to twitch. And was reduced to just a stitch of what was once the wicked witch.” -Munchkins
“Be gone before somebody drops a house on you too.” -Glinda
“Oh dear, I keep forgetting I’m not in kansas.” -Dorothy
Watching my head for falling houses,
Dorothy…er, Jamie
