Posted by: Deanna Location: Kansas
Why have this facility located in a heavily populated area in the first place where tonadoes are, plus earthquakes? Posted by: jacqueline Jeff from keats is correct. the one that hit keats was also reported as a f4 and the bad thing about it was that it started jumping all over the place from manhattan to olsburg Posted by: Royce Location: Alma, KS Interesting that number 22 on the Kansas list states Ogden when it actually hit the Kansas State University Campus and the west side of Manhattan (Amherst) on 6/11 last year. When it was reported on the weather that night it was stated that it was touched down near the Manhattan airport and you were picking up debris and people in Manhattan should take cover. I don't remember any comments about Ogden. A bit misleading don't you think? Posted by: justin Location: manhattan i still would rather have it in texas i mean kansas has the most cattle in world and they might be studing hoof and mouth i mean whats up the manhattan city officials Posted by: Josephine Location: Gridley, Coffey County, KS Last year around this time, GW county was under a tornado warning. You no more said, is it going to be extended to Coffey Co. and WHAM! We live in 2 trailer houses, put together in a T. We were sitting at the kitchen table, which is located at the bottom of the T. My husband said, if we'd of been standing up, it would have knocked us down. We left home in a hurry, and went to a safer place. When we got home, later that nite, our headlights revealed, the antenna pole was severely bent. We didn't notice anything else, because the lights were still out. The next morning, we discovered, that the extention we took off the top of the T, the fall before, which we left it lying in the pasture about 20' to the West, had been picked up, turned 45 degrees, and shoved into the NW window. It hit us hard enough that it cracked the drain on the tub, among other leaks, around vent pipes, etc. If GW county goes under a warning again, you can bet we'll be loaded up and leaving home then and there! Posted by: sherrell Location: 1312swpolk thank you for your help jem Posted by: sherrell eldridge Location: 1312swpolk street what is between a f4 and a reg tormadoes jeremy goodwin email me back my email addren Posted by: Barry Location: Topeka GO JEREMY GO! Gotta love having Jeremy Goodwin, God of Weather, on our Side! Posted by: Bruce Location: Manhattan Jeremy,thanks for pointing out you know how to do math. However, why don't we move the NBAF to Topeka and let you live with the danger of a release of deadly airborne pathogens from a tornado. Everyone wants Manhattan to have this "waiting to happen disaster" but the people who live in Manhattan. This was jammed down our throats so the town and university bigwigs could profit from the pay offs. Please take the NBAF someplace else. If not then it is time to move from this place before we are all killed from a release of deadly airborne pathogens. Posted by: Kent Location: Manhattan Russian Roulette involves people.... Manhattan's population has topped 50,000. San Antonio has more than 1,000,000. It makes no sense to have a location that has a higher frequency of tornadoes and could possibly effect a population that is more than 40 times as large...... Posted by: jeff Location: keats In june of 1993 a tornado destroyed my farm and several houses just west of keats. I don't see it listed on this list. Wibw was there for a report on it. Why would it not be listed? I believe it was june 30 around 6:45 p.m. Posted by: ernie Location: south of burlington ks If you would keep out of the way [of the weather map and radar] and not block the view and not put up silly stuff about your self .people could see more about [about our area] . we matter to not just topeka, We might start watching another channel so we can see what's going on in the south part of the area also.Give us a break sometime ok????? Posted by: Lois Location: Topeka You go, Jeremy!! If the court comes up Manhattan sure wants you there to testify for them!!! I love it when someone 'big' makes a 'smart' remark and then someone like you proves them wrong as can be!! Thank you for all the work you do. Posted by: karen Location: manhattan I think they are just mad that they didn't get it. They would say anything to make Manhattan look bad. You've got the figures right here, my thought is .. Did they really think someone wouldn't look it up and see that it's worse there then it is here?! Thanks for showing the TRUE facts Jeremy! It all comes down to them wanting the money, the lab, and all that comes with it. Hate to tell them I think they lost this battle!! Posted by: Brian Location: Manhattan As being someone who has worked on the design/build aspects of MANY large scale government projects, this is a rediculous argument and provides a poor foundation for their argument. There are government regulations that require buildings to be built to certain standards based on the "Natural phenomena" hazards associated with the selected site.(i.e. tornadoes, earthquakes, hurricans, etc.). This building (mainly due to the contents within) will be built to withstand many variables including tornadoes for this site. Not all of the building will be constructed to withstand an F-5 but the areas which store the most critical components of the building will be required to be constructed for an F-5 with ADDITIONAL safeguards in place as well. The only good thing comming outta Texas is I-35 North bound! Posted by: Deb Location: Melvern I was hoping that someone smart would run the figures. I heard the argument and laughed, because Kansas is 3rd in tornados after Texas and Oklahoma. Thanks for the confirmation of my thought. Posted by: Derek Location: MHK I hope you can forward this to the government..... and to those texas fools....they are just mad because we are getting something bigger than them...lol Posted by: WestMHK Doesn't San Antonio see its fair share of hurricanes (which have tornado-like winds and also spawn tornadoes on the backside)? Tornadoes hurricanes = I'd pick Manhattan too. Posted by: Nathaniel Location: Topeka Enough said, Jeremy stated the facts, AP. |
