Mar 2022

When we first moved to Kansas, from Colorado, we spent a lot of nights in the basement of our home listening to the weather radio.

The only time I ever saw a funnel cloud was when we lived in Boulder, and I was looking at houses on the eastern edge of the city, looking towards Denver.

For what it's worth, earlier today, the skies above me in Santa Fe was almost totally black, and if I were in Kansas I'd have been nervously listening to the weather radio. Topography matters a lot, and in this more mountainous area tornadoes are highly unlikely, lucky me.
