Kansasfarmer is wide awake tonight at 1:11 am, too noisy in this house to sleep, at least for me, my better half is dead to the world right now, not the least bit concerned with what is going on outside the bedroom let alone the house.
Our problems started earlier this afternoon when a thunderstorm bringing hail and lightening with a little rain set off a grassfire, interesting in the fact that all day before the storm people had been burning so it seemed strange that this particular one needed put out. Severe weather had been predicted all day, however it didn't "feel" like severe weather was going to be a problem as there wasn't much humidity, humidity almost always goes along with severe weather. Lightening flashed around all evening, but no real storm hit us. We went to bed thinking the entire thing was a little overdone, and not much would happen. The first clue that was not the case came right around midnight when the fire pager sounded off for a barn fire from a lightening hit in the far south end of the county, and at this moment, it has just gone off for us to storm spot, more later.........
