Yes I believe they do, but as the legend goes people only see them before a good size tornado hits their town!

No, but I live in Orléans, one of Wichita's "sister cities":

When I was a kid, I used to love riding the train the city of Wichita donated to the city of Orléans in 1951. My own children, and then my nephews and nieces enjoyed it too. It's still choo-chooing in the summer season

There's also a statue that reminds me of my years in college, it has been moved to a different place, but in the 70s it was just in front of the pub I used to go instead of attending classes at college. A much better place to chat the birds...

Wow that's very cool! I had no idea about any of that. Yes I quite like that statue too! It is The Keeper of the Plains, we have a large one in downtown and every night they have large pyrotechnics that goes off!

My daughter is on her way right now to visit her boyfriend in Wichita. I am hoping she misses all the thunderstorms hitting Kansas today..

Central Mo is not too far.
I have a buddy in KC with great trees. He has the uncanny ability to make great trees from nursery trash in one season. MU Horticulture graduate and amazing artist!
