We live in a small town of about 3300 people in East Central Kansas. Most of the time the Kansas City weatherman barely mentions us. Not tonight though! He said our town was going to be hit by severe weather. I know it is probably 20 hours away, but after seeing the pictures of Seneca, MO, just 70 or so miles away, I'm scared.

We don't have a cellar, and we have six dogs who will also need to be protected, nevermind the cats, horses and livestock.

I just told my husband for the 30 millioneth time that I didn't want to live here anymore. I also mentioned that he is doing a lousy job of taking care of me. He is 68, but he has refused to look for a job for a year now. I told him if he would get a job, we could afford to have a cellar dug.

Please pray for our safety. I feel trapped and scared.
