Hi Dawn
Oh, honey, you always worry about your friends and I love you for that!
Wendall and I were at Amy and Stacy's this weekend in Fenton, MO (St. Louis county). I think a tornado went over us, didn't touch down, but we're okay. Then, the same storm system hit Mt. Vernon (we were still in Fenton). My son was home--Willie was with us. He said it got very black, lots of wind, but I don't think anything happened here. He spent some time in the basement. However, we go through Fairview Heights, MO (just east of St. Louis)---they had no power last night and we heard that a couple of stores got hit by what they think was a tornado and one person was killed.
It was scary, came on so fast. Sounded like a roar. But, we're okay. Love you! Oh, we've been without the internet since the storm hit here last night. That was probably around 6 pm. We didn't get home until around 11 pm.
Love you!!!!!

I live close to the area in Fairview Heights where the man was killed in the store when the roof and a wall collapsed. Everything went over us--lots of wind and rain but nothing else. Scared one of my cats to death! She hates thunder and was beside herself till she found her safe place under the bed. We only lost power for about a minute.
Glad you are ok, Jan!

So glad that you all are safe and sound! It was quite the storm and looks like the east coast is going to get it today.
I can take structural damage, just want everyone to be okay and all the critters to be accounted for!
Finally today the wind has died down enough to where it is almost nice!
Miss Dawn, I hope that the weather coming your way is just a nice soothing thunderstorm, the kind you like to take a nap in!

Not to scare you, but Hawaii had a tornado recently and they never have them either!
Glad that all are okay!

I just heard on a St. Louis station that a tornado was spotted in Fenton, where we were. I knew I heard a "roar", but it wasn't the "freight train" that you think you'll hear. It sounded almost like an airplane engine or something like that. That's when I looked out and, OMG, the wind was horrible---swirling, trees bent over, black-green sky. I was really afraid for Wendall and Amy, who were out in it.
Actually, not much happened in Mt. Vernon. We had some tree limbs down, and it got pretty windy. But just north of here, they had structural damage. We're in for quite a spring!
Love you guys

hey all, we are even having tornados in Idaho never heared of such a thing.......... there is flooding going on and it's just crazy..............the wind was blowing so hard the other night I thought I was back in florida...........I think MOTHER NATURE has had enough of our abuse,and is letting us know..................they are saying we are going to get some more high winds today and possiblity of tornados. I lost power last week for over 12 hours. I am looking after my landlords mother right now I sure hope the power doesnt go out or I am going to have my hands full. But you can't stop mother nature~~~~~~~~~~~Lyndarae
Well the asst director just sent an email and the weather service announced there is a tornado... where - headed straight for my place! Had I mentioned that the origianl homestead was destroyed in July 1956 by a tornado? Didn't find that out till after I bought the place!
