Kansas City gets lightning and floods and tornadoes and snowstorms and blizzards and you-name-it.......but in my 37 years here, there have only really been two occasions where I have been completely terrified by the weather :the ice storms of March 1983 and February 2002.
In the 2002 storm, they estimated that 95% of the trees in Kansas City were damaged. NINETY FIVE PERCENT. I will never forget lying awake all night in a 45 degree completely black house, listening for the next *CRACK* as another branch came tumbling down, and wondering if the next one would land on my house and crush the bed i was laying in. This went on for about 3 straight nights. My road was impassable for 3 days...it looked like King Kong had gone on a rampage. Everyone please be careful.
