Blizzards, Tornadoes, Fires, Oh My!

The past weekend has been very busy for those living in the central portion of the United States. Blizzards, tornadoes, and grassfires have swept through the area:
  • South Dakota was hit by a typical March blizzard, dumping any where from a foot (Western SD) to 6 inches (Eastern SD) of snow.
  • Missouri, Illinois, [Edited to add] and Kansas [End Edit] recieved the worst of thunderstorms sweeping across the midwest, including a preliminary estimate of 110 tornadoes that touched down.
  • Northern Texas is battling wildfires that have already consumed 1000 square miles.
Ah, I miss living in the central part of this continent, especially SD! I would say this is a short post... but I have seen shorter!

A title inspired by the Wizard of Oz, and you didn't even mention that the tornadoes also hit Kansas. *Shakes head disapprovingly*
