Would you be brave enough to snap this shot? On June 11, Lori Mehmen of Orchard, Iowa, took this photo from just outside her front door:

I really like the Snopes image, but I can't link to it (only get a Mr. Yuck).

Wow! You've been in several? That one looks scary.

I've lived in Kansas since I was 5. I've been in more than several, but I've actually seen more than one.

I saw this one as well. It was a year later than the one linked above. I spent two spring breaks in a row in high school cleaning up people's destroyed houses. The Hesston one destroyed my best friend's house. We didn't find a piece of it bigger than my forearm.

There was also one in Lawrence that I didn't see, but I heard that they were spotted. I was out driving around that area, and a street divider sign blew down in front of my car. I was on 6th street heading west.

I should be a tornado chaser because they fascinate me and I have no fear of going out and looking for them. At least, I didn't before I had kids.

Perhaps another child-bearing psychological side-effect as you noted today....
