Flood in Salina, Tornado in Greensburg May 06, 2007

Six inches of rain last night, torandos a few miles North of us, you got to love Kansas in the Spring. Just got an e-mail from an old Navy buddy of mine that lives in Missouri he and some friends were on their way to Arizona and stopped in Greensburg, KS for the night. Yep, that's the same Greensburg that got wiped out by the tornado last Friday night. He and his friends are OK but lost their bikes. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

I misunderstood about the bikes, after talking to Wally I learned that they spent most of the night digging three of the bikes out from under rubble and all five of them rode back to Missouri the next morning. A Kansas City TV station interviewed them and I got to watch it on the news last night. I hope to have some pictures of the bikes posted soon. Good stuff, lucky guys.

This is the room that Wally and his friend rode out the storm. Their bikes are under the wall on the left.
