“This growth in homelessness is largely a result of systemic poverty. Too many people in this country are just plain not making it. They’ve gone from fragile and housed, to fragile and couch-surfing, to fragile and living in their cars, to fragile to living in tents.” #AHCJSummit

It’s that time of the year! Got the storm bag packed and ready. 🌪️
8:46 PM: A line of strong to severe thunderstorms continues to slowly move eastward across E KS & W. MO. Damaging wind gusts are the greatest concern. Up to Quarter size hail is also possible and we cannot rule out the chance for a quick spin up tornado along the line.
