    Trek, did you get any storm damage today? We just had a tornado touch down near us as a system moved through. (I'm in NE Arkansas). AccuWeather is stating that it's going to be bad this week for us folks in Tornado Alley so let's keep in touch and check in.

    Found this dramatic video of someone filming the event while in a convenient store in Joplin, MO.

    And photographs of the damage to the town.

    I'm between St. Louis and Joplin. Our sirens didn't go off. Everyone we know there is safe. Our school has joined a few other central Missouri districts and we are competing with each other to see who can raise the most money by Friday, and then we are giving it to the school district or a shelter.

    Thanks to everyone for checking in. I hope everyone is OK.

    No damage today but a decent storm.

    Looks like another round of storms are headed your way, particularly in the St. Louis area. Here is the latest from AccuWeather:

    Exclamation St. Louis is the next target

    "A number of large tornadoes this afternoon and evening!"

    As of 2:50 p.m. CDT:
    Number of tornado reports so far today is 20.

    There are 17 different tornado warnings out for Missouri alone at this time. Just about every thunderstorm over central and eastern Missouri is rotating and capable of producing a tornado.
    Some of the storms were lifting northward toward St. Louis. New thunderstorms were rapidly developing over Arkansas and were becoming severe.

    Joplin has been spared as the storms are developing east and north of the area. Only a few showers are expected for the devastated city this afternoon.
    A tornado crossed Sedalia, Mo. around lunchtime CDT and has apparently caused major damage. Cars and buildings are damaged and a tractor trailer was overturned. One person is reportedly injured. The number of casualties is not known, if any.

    Sedalia, Mo. had two tornado touchdowns at around 12:00 p.m. CDT. There are reports of some homes completely leveled. The damage covers a four block area at 32nd and Grand Streets. Two homes are reportedly pulled off of their foundations. As of 3:30 p.m. EST only minor injuries have been reported.

    A tornado was reported on Waterford Rd. in Centertown at 1:45 p.m. CDST. Centertown is located in Cole county in central Missouri.
    Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) tornado watches are now in effect from southeast Missouri to western Kentucky. Storms will be developing in that area shortly and will produce large, powerful tornadoes.

    A second PDS tornado watch has been issued for central and eastern Arkansas, northern Mississippi, western Tennessee and the Bootheal of Missouri.

    Holy #$^%!!!

    Same guy returned and filmed the aftermath. Just looking at the destruction, I would not have believed anyone would have survived.
