Heads Up: Kansas, Northern Oklahoma, Western Missouri

A very strong line of thunderstorms is moving across Kansas overturning 18-wheelers, causing small tornadoes and power failures. It looks like it will sweep across Wichita and Topeka in the next few hours and into western Missouri and northern Oklahoma before it is finished.

• Please monitor local television and radio.
• Prepare for power failures that may last more than a few hours.
• Take care of infirm friends and relatives well before the storms arrive.
• Put the car in the garage.
• Bring in lawn furniture and trampolines and other items that might blow about.
