Been watching the updates & texting the parents...they live in Lake St Louis (west of the city) They have been super lucky!!!

Funny...Mom texted me last night THRILLED (to say the least) that they finally managed to fit both cars, Dad's fancy motorcycle and the garbage cans in the garage...all that moments before the hail!!! They were so proud of themselves! Last time it hailed my Dad drove down to the highway overpass...along with about 25 other neighbors haha!

Hope everyone stays safe and the storms let up!!!

Thanks for all the updates...

Did any of you see the heavy, gray, Lord Of The Rings Mordor type clouds today? I get the feeling that our weather is not going to be normal anymore.

Ugh. I was stuck at my sister's house for 3 hours. She won't go to the basement because she has a fear of being buried alive--so I sat in the basement with her dogs (and the ipad and iphone on two different radar feeds) and yelled up the stairs. Luckily the kitchen is at the top of the stairs!

Yep. And it's so sad and frightening. It's one of the things that makes me feel really defeated, it's too late, why even try.

We had several funnel cloud sightings and tornado warnings. I spent a little time in the basement but we were fortunate and had no damage. The weatherman said the 3 storms over Missouri merged into one before it came across Illinois which lessened the intensity. It was still a booger!

I saw the storm headed your way and thought about you. So glad you're okay!

Even luckier that you can get signal in the basement! I sure can't (can barely get signal in the above ground cinderblock ground floor). If we've got no electric (so no wifi), either we go upstairs for phone service or we're stuck with old fashioned radio - luckily we're in an area where there's still a true local channel that has someone actually at the station all the time.
