Weather was severe last night.

               How are our St. Louis OA area members doing,

    Check in and let us know you are OK. Five dead in Missouri from that big line of storms. To the east when it fires up again today the weather scale is a five out of five rating. the rating has only been issued twice before. Batten down the hatches it's going to get bumpy out there.  Crying wolf you say? What is that saying? Take that ounce of prevention.

I got a call last night around 9 PM.  It started with "Take shelter now", it was a St Louis alert though and why it called me is a head scratcher.

           That's crazy!

We got wind and small hail.  I haven’t been out to check stuff yet.

I had shingles flying off the house before the storms even started. Got a big dent in a fender when the basketball goal was pushed into it. BB goal has been there for over twenty years and this is the first time it’s ever blown over. 
 

But my stuff is tiny compared to what others went through.

There were gusts of heavy wind coming straight down out of the sky here.   I don't think I've ever witnessed that before 🤔 

Blowing up huge clouds of dust, sticks, and gravel.  And the wakes coming off the lake were pretty scary, I darn sure wouldn't have wanted to be out there trying to get anywhere.  

Thankfully no damage to anything that can't be fixed easily 👍

 Now its ten confirmed dead in Missouri from the storms. 😕

For one time I'm glad it went around us.

12 dead at this point from last night, but there's tonight's storms in SEMO.  Clinton had maybe 20 minutes of thunderstorm that knocked a few limbs down and washed the 4Runner enough that the following winds blowing smoke and dust  covered it.

Sitting at farm on generator tonite.  Long path out of Van Buren did a touchdown again 1/2 mile down road.  Totalled a house and went off into MDC land. Crossed and hit campground on Castor.

Poplar Bluff whacked pretty good.  Clearwater Lake area under curfew tonite from damage there.

I had some quarter size hail, no damage on farm.  Power will be off a few days.
