Today began as a rainy day. We left Kansas and was in route to Colorado and then changed direction and went back to Kansas and Oklahoma and then back to Kansas. We saw a massive supercell develop and then merge with another. Today was a ton of driving.




In Kansas we were parked on a farm and spoke with the locals as they would drive by and stop and ask about the weather since our truck had a bunch of antennas and gauges on the roof. The farmers are in a historic drought in Kansas. They said they didn't care if a tornado came as long as it brought the rain.

One farmer brought up Al Gore and said he was nuts and all the government preaching about Global Warming was just a bunch of BS. The farmer said he has been working this land his whole life (60+ years) and he has not seen any global warming except from Al Gore and his political agenda. I do have to agree with the farmer. They are really nice folk do a hard living. I realized that I should have ask to take their picture!? They are all a part of this too. I won't forget next time. I'll post pics as soon as I can later tonight after I get something to eat. It's 9:45 PM and we are in route to he vicinity of the Super8 motel and food.
