If you're reading this, then you live in the area that's been getting poured on for a couple months. Luckily, the dangerous weather hasn't been too bad. We have had a couple little tornado's here and there out in open areas and unfortunatly, did have one that hit Manhattan just the day before last that caused a bit of damage. I have some pictures of it from another R1 rider.

The damage was a lot more extensive than most people get to see, the news teams did a terrible job covering it. Chapman, KS (just outside Manhattan) is being called "the new Greensburg" as over 85% of the town was damaged.

And as for Manhattan, those poor folks got softball sized hail that layed havoc on the majority of the town one week prior to the big twister.

What's amazing is houses like 3 blocks in the background, completely undamaged. Living in Kansas sometimes I feel desensitized to all the tornado/thunderstorm warnings we get.

The day you stop paying attention or blow it off is going to be the day nature picks you. Don't let that happen

My Integra got some pretty nasty hail damage, luckily the S14 was in the garage. My dad lives less then 10 miles from Hugo where that little boy was killed, my Integra was at his house. A bunch of trees around my apartment complex got knocked down, and there were leaves and branches everywhere.
