1. When we bought our house in Olathe, KS
my husband bought it while I stayed in Indiana with our son ( we could not afford a house-hunting trip for all of us).. He came home with pictures of it (it was great)..anyway, while we were looking at the pictures one night a news report came on tv about a tornado in OLATHE .. We rushed into the living room & he said "That looks like the house we just bought"..

It was on the same street around the bend a bit...they lost part of their roof.. Our house almost got "whooshed away" before I even set eyes on it

2. In the path, not worried. Yet.
The reporting on tornados is pretty incredible these days, the accuracy is almost pin-point now. I have multiple on-scene live cameras, radar from various sources. I'm tracking the "hook" right now and I know exactly where it is.

10. Thanks for the link
Looks like one might form on the Jonathan Kreigh video but I can't tell with no link and I'm not all that familiar with twisters.
