Severe weather has occupied much of the Plains and Midwest over the weekend. There were 22 tornadoes reported across Kansas and Nebraska on May 18. A tornado that touched down near Rozel, Kan., caused one home to be nearly destroyed. No one was reported injured.
Below are some photos captured of the tornadoes. Severe weather, including more possible tornadoes, will continue to be a threat throughout the Plains and Midwest from Sunday into the beginning of the workweek.

Dirt Road Girl wanted something to cage her tomatoes in our front yard. She hates those flimsy wire cages. Our backyard is full shade. So we followed the sun and started food-scaping the font yard. There's sunshine 8 hours a day out front.
She wanted something functional, sturdy, and of course, homemade. I made rolled wire cages last year from fencing.
North Korea fires a missile into eastern waters, day after launching three short-range missiles

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea fired a projectile into waters off its eastern coast Sunday, a day after launching three short-range missiles in the same area, officials said.
North Korea routinely test-launches short-range missiles. But the latest launches came during a period of tentative diplomacy aimed at easing recent tension, including near-daily threats by North Korea to attack South Korea and the U.S. earlier this year. North Korea protested annual joint military drills by Seoul and Washington and U.N. sanctions imposed over its February nuclear test.
The fourth launch occurred Sunday afternoon, according to officials at Seoul’s Defense Ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing department rules, refused to say whether it was a missile or artillery round.

On Saturday, North Korea fired two short-range missiles in the morning and another in the afternoon. The U.S. responded by saying threats or provocations would only further deepen North Korea’s international isolation, while South Korea called the launches a provocation and urged the North to take responsible actions.
The North has a variety of missiles but Seoul and Washington don’t believe the country has mastered the technology needed to manufacture nuclear warheads that are small and light enough to be placed on a missile capable of reaching the U.S.
U.S. officials said the North has recently withdrawn two mid-range “Musudan” missiles believed to be capable of reaching Guam after moving them to its east coast during the recent tensions.
The Korean Peninsula officially remains in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. South Korea’s Defense Ministry said Sunday it has deployed dozens of Israeli-made precision guided missiles on front-line islands near the disputed western sea boundary as part of an arms buildup begun after a North Korean artillery strike on one of the islands in 2010 killed four South Koreans. -National Post

Volcanoes Today, 19 May 2013: Popocatépetl, Shiveluch, Pavlov, Kizimen, Tolbachik

Kizimen (Kamchatka): The lava dome remains active and produces hot avalanches on the western and eastern flanks. KVERT reports moderate seismic activity, incandescence of the volcano summit and medium to strong degassing.
Shiveluch (Kamchatka): The activity of the growing lava dome continues with little changes. KVERT reports moderate seismic activity, moderate gas-steam activity and incandescence.
Tolbachik (Kamchatka): According to the latest KVERT report, the eruption has gained again in strength. Tremor levels have risen and lava continues to effuse from the southern fissure vent, feeding a broad lava flow field.
Pavlov (Alaska Peninsula, USA): The eruption continues with lava fountaining, an active lava flow and ash emissions, accompanied by continuous seismic tremor. Aerial observations suggest that the interaction of lava and ice on the upper slope of the volcano create mud flows and pyroclastic flows.
A narrow plume of steam, ash, and gas, occasionally up to 20,000 ft. above sea level, and extending southeast from the volcano over the North Pacific Ocean was visible in satellite images yesterday. Minor to trace ash fallout could be occurring on the north, east and southeast flanks of the volcano and possibly on parts of Pavlof Bay and adjacent waters southeast of the volcano. Nearby communities have not reported any ash fall over the past 24 hours. (AVO)
Popocatépetl (Central Mexico): Activity remains elevated, but the number and size of explosions have decreased during the past 2 days. CENAPRED made an overflight and found that the series of recent explosions since 14 May, in particular the two that occurred on the night of the 16th to 17th, have excavated a crater of approx. 200 m diameter and 40 m depth in the lava dome. The rest of the dome’s surface is covered by fragments from the explosions.

Tornado Threat Exists for Oklahoma City to Kansas City
Posted in Climate, News/ Current Events, Tornados, Weather with tags AccuWeather, climate, Extreme weather, Great Plains, Natural Disasters and Hazards, News/ Current Events, Oklahoma, Oklahoma City, severe weather, South Dakota, Texas, Tornado, Tornado Threat Exists for Oklahoma City to Kansas City, Weather, weather climate, Weather map on May 19, 2013 by TheSurvivalGuyMore severe weather is in store for the Plains on Sunday in the wake of a day with more than 200 reports of severe weather.
The area that will be affected by this severe weather will stretch from South Dakota to Texas, just east of where severe weather was seen on Saturday.
Storms will begin to develop on Sunday afternoon and will continue into the evening bringing the threat of heavy downpours, damaging wind gusts, large hail and even tornadoes.
Some of these thunderstorms may continue to strengthen after initial development and become long-lived supercells.
The threat for tornadoes will grow in the late afternoon and evening hours as thunderstorms develop and strengthen. The area that will be at the greatest risk for tornadoes includes central Oklahoma and eastern Kansas; although tornadoes may still develop elsewhere in the area outlined above.
Heavy downpours from these storms can lead to localized flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas and areas with poor drainage. Heavy rain in the northern Plains will also lead to a “Renewed River Flood Threat”.
Damaging wind gusts up to 70 mph may be strong enough to blow over trees and power lines which can cause power outages and property damage.
