Just came on - what’s happening in St. Louis...
HERE, Riding out the storm
On the Illinois side - just got some heavy rain, lot of lightning, supposedly tornado spotted between freeburg and new athens south of me, but no confirmation.
Everything’s okay in my neck of St. Chuck... :-)
Had a couple of times the lights blinked and heard some loud thunks (hail, I suppose — the entire SGAG family was in the basement). But no major damage as far as I know.
Not really much of a Good Friday, though.
I’m okay...thankfully, I live on high ground for the inevitable floods that will come after the projected 9” of rain over the next three days.
Just talked to a friend there that says says they are surrounded by lightening and thunder still and he’s preparing to duck if need be!
I am in West St. Louis County, long track tornado went through majorly populated areas. Lambert Airpot received extensive damage with glass shattering and cutting travelers. Roof on Concourse C blown off. Major stretch of highway 270 closed due to power lines. Its night so full details won’t be known until tomorrow.
South County. Sorry I’m late. Power outage only from about 2230 till sometime after midnight. No physical damage anywhere around that I could see. Hope everyone is well.
