Thanks for the comments guys and gals. Yes, the one things we've got is extreme weather. Nebraska goes from sub-zero in the winter to over 100F in the summer and the spring gives us tornado season. Yesterday was a bonus. TODAY is The Day I've been looking at for a week. The forecast has held and it looks like many supercells and tornadoes likely in north central KS and into southern NE. I'll be heading out mid-afternoon.
