Yes, but not everyday like some would think after watching the
Wizard of Oz. I've lived in Kansas for all, but about 10 of my 43
years, and I've only seen one tornado (when I was 10). We had some
damage a few years ago from a funnel that passed overhead, but we
were in the basement at the time. I do consider a basement or storm
shelter almost a necessity here - wouldn't want to live in a mobile
home although some do. We have a lot of wind here on a daily basis
even without any storms. What we want now is some snow!!!!
We've had such a dry, warm fall that our biggest problem has been
prairie fires. People routinely do controlled burns here on
farmland. It makes the soil richer and does away with the scrubby
brush that tends to take over. With dry weather like we've had,
it's easy for those burns to get out of control, so we've had some
burn bans, but we've still had problems. We finally got some rain
so that should help. For awhile we could walk out the front door,
smell fire, and know that the praire was burning somewhere.

Snowflakes are on of nature's most fragile things,
but just look at what they can do
when they stick together.
