On this date back in 2007, tragedy struck Greensburg, KS when an EF-5 tornado destroyed, and in many cases leveled, about 95 percent of the town of 1,383 people. The twister struck around 9:45 PM, killed 11, injured 63, and caused around $250 million damage. #kswx
@Paul_Goodloe I just saw the segment on the cicada emergence. There's a big overlap with areas that also see a severe weather threat this time of year. Can multi-day severe weather threats wipe out the cicada population during their emergence?
LIGHTNING STRIKES LIGHT POLE: Thanks to Nathanael Day for sharing this shocking video from southeast Wichita. Remember, lightning and thunder mean you should take cover!
@JordanSteele Not a problem! I have family in the area and I follow the NWS Facebook pages for multiple areas so I can warn family and friends too. Thanks for keeping an eye on the skies!
⚠️WAIT HOLD UP—Pasteurization of milk actually may **not** neutralize all viruses sufficiently to stop infectivity—“many viruses cannot”. It seems that fat globules in whole milk and 2% fat milk can protect viruses from high temperature pasteurization (dairy research shows for foot and mouth disease virus)—and show residual infectivity of the virus after pasteurization. ➡️My trusted colleague points out that the USDA & CDC has presented **zero evidence** avian flu cannot survive pasteurization in whole/2% fat milk🥛. He warns that until such evidence is shown, we need to be careful of USDA/CDC’s claims that virus in milk can “reliably” be neutralized via current pasteurization temperatures.

@CovidintheChart This should be reported: to the state, to her insurance, to the Joint Commission, an ombudsman, anyone with power to hold this hospital accountable.
