T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,602 #1 Posted December 31, 2010 When the temperatures get around 60 here in the mid-west, always be prepared for the next cold front and the potential for severe weather. Today it was mid-60s here in the St. Louis area - at the same time in the Kansas City area it was around 30. Warm air meeting cold air - dangerous. We have numerous tornadoes, straight line winds and severe damage. 3 killed in northwest Arkansas, 2 so far in Missouri. Damage to homes, business, churches, cars and trucks damage, power outages. I hope that all who are members of this site are safe - there are so many families now in Missouri that are stunned by the force of these types storms. Major damage.

stevasaurus 23,274 #2 Posted December 31, 2010 Terry...saw on the weather channel this morning that you guys had that bad weather going on. Did not show any pictures at that time, but talked about the extensive damage. At that time they said 3 fatalities. Hope you are all OK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4xfourfun 30 #3 Posted January 2, 2011 So may people lucked out on this one. My aunt was in a shop in Sunset Hills MO when the tornado came through. She said they only had 10-15 seconds to take cover. Then one of the store front windows blew out. She was pretty shook up, when she made it ouside she found her was barely driveable......lucky. I was outside taking the dog for a walk when the storm came across to my side of the river(IL). Once I heard the storm we started heading back to the house and before I knew it it was raining sideways. My dog was not amused! So many people are left powerless or even worse homeless right now. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected. -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
