Bad weather

I know we've been getting pounded here in southern Missouri, and Smallhurst up in the KC area is getting a taste as well. OK City got hit this evening, and the southeast is getting washed away.

Everyone making it ok, or at least as good as can be expected?

Rob I was just listening to the news and they were saying that their is a severe weather warning in effect for the Chi-town area. The weather has been really bad lately. I will pray that all of you drag racers make it Ok! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I tell ya, this has been a BAD week, but I watched the weather not too long ago here, and they said we dodged a MAJOR bullet tonight, as the conditions for big storms had deteriorated. Of course, we're supposed to be stuck in this crap until around Tuesday, and whatever we get heads your direction! Just remember to keep your head down!

Windy City is getting hammered right now. Hope everyone out in the Midwest make it out with the least damage possible.

Made it through the night OK.
Woke up to hear two houses were struck by Lightning and partialy burned.
I heard earlier this week in Pierce City Mo. there was an F3 tornado touch down and they showed a Car collection hit hard with a roof all over them.Looked like 50's cars from the news clip. Anyone we know?

Hmm...hadn't heard about the collection in Pierce City. That's not too far from here...I'll try and find out. Pierce City and Stockton both got wiped clean from the map. I believe the only thing left in downtown Stockton is the courthouse. They said they will be without power/water/phone for another week or two, and with all the bad weather lately that keeps pounding them, they've been having to hand out fliers with weather updates taken from HAM radio operators. The Weather Channel was on location in Pierce City until the tornado hit in OKC yesterday.

My dad got grapefruit sized hail. Dented his old truck a little.

I guess that I am lucky, for the most part. They had a tornado touch down in Lawrence, KS last night about 75 miles west of me. Several other funnel clouds around Emporia and Topeka. The funnel that came down in KC last Sunday was rated as an F4. I hope everyone in the OKC area is OK. I heard about that hitting during rush hour. Definately bad timing.
