#GS3 called me this morning to tell me about the derecho ("land hurricane") that blew down trees and powerlines in SE #Kansas, SW #Missouri, and NW #Arkansas.

They have some trees down in their yard, so #sonTwo will have to buy or rent a chainsaw. The fence is still up, and the animals (dogs, cats, chickens) are all okay.

Apparently, the power is back on for them. I did see that not everyone in the area has power yet.
