Why do storms miss Wichita?
I don’t want to jinx us because we saw what can happen in bigger cities when tornadoes happen, like in Houston, but it does seem like the worst of storms often miss Wichita.
Why is this?
Some speculate that the Keeper of the Plains is just doing his job and protecting or keeping his plains safe.
Some people want to blame meteorologists for blowing things out of proportion or being the boy who cried wolf.
We know they are doing their best job and I would much rather prepare for the worst.
Carrie Rengers (with the Eagle, which you can read for free if you check out our blog) did a good write-up on this topic.
Passageways
Are you familiar with Passageways which is a nonprofit here in Wichita that provides temporary housing, food, hope and a new mission to all military community members?
