Long Night

[oneshot]

Went to the office about 10 talked to my sister North of California, MO. She said it had just hit there. I’m waiting to hear back from her.

Heard about Jefferson City. Was told about midnight to stand down go home but be ready.

I’m sleeping in my clothes thought I was hearing hail but Tornado touched down by us. We haul tail for the office 1:20 running ahead of the system. Then another touchdown. Far as I know only one house distroyed no injuries.

Get to the office watching Radar Tornado goes to FLW. Boss said there was one on the ground at Edgar Springs. Where is Edgar Springs? I knew because I use to hunt up there.

They was touching down all along the line, every time seemed it had calmed down there was another.

Finally one of my Bosses asked what I thought? Told him I thought it was done but had 2 more touch down, so we wait. Then 4AM they said stand down go home.

On way home pointed out to my wife that all the Mailboxes were open.

She might be deployed to Jefferson City right now dealing with Media.

Twas a tense night around here.  We were apparently right at the line where all hell began to break loose.  It would get dead still and sweaty hot. Crazy lightning.  Everything threatened to sit down right on top of us, one right after another, but all came down just north of us and ripped Its way northeast from there.  

What a wicked line of storms that was!

Here in SW MO we got hammered. All the rivers and creeks are raging and where I live the sirens kept going off around 1:30 in the morning. So yea, I didn't sleep much last night.

Was watching Radar and seemed storms were bottle necking in NE corner of Oklahoma I think because of the hills.
