 The day the tornado struck wasn't expected to be a very severe weather day. Ken was away in Hays for a COG meeting, and Deb went to and came home from work like normal. Deb came home like any other day, got a bite to eat, and had the news on. There was a storm building east of Bennington, but it was Kansas in May, so thunderstorms and tornadoes are just part of a normal weather broadcast.
