THE KANSAS TORNADOES

KANSAS IS NOTED AS BEING THE HOME OF TORNADOES. THEY SAY THAT
THESE TORNADOES WILL PICK UP TELEPHONE POLES AND SET THEM DOWN
IN THE SAME PLACE TWO STATES AWAY. AND THE TELEPHONE OPERATORS
WITH THEM. ONE TIME, IT WAS IN THE MORNING AT MILKING TIME,
A KANSAS TORNADO CAME ALONG AND PICKED UP A WHOLE TOWN AND
DROPPED IT IN NEBRASKA--INCLUDING THE WHEEL TRACKS.
