they hype it up but then it's not as bad as they say, if we do get any hail it will be pea size.

I bet we get no hail or damaging winds.....just a little thunderstorm.

In Lawrence, the thunderstorms tend to split up and go around us, or just weaken before they hit. Its probably due to KU's weather weapon/deflector.

They do tend to miss Lawrence and the surrounding areas.....the big bad ones anyways

boy, that was a whole bunch of nothing except moisture for the grass seed.
Multi, I think I know of a basement depot which should have an abundance of tin foil hats in a nearby county. They actually might help the wifi. I bet you could get a free wall poster of your favorite gun or car thrown into the mix. Also face masks for the epidemic moving up the trade routes.
