Been watching the news.. Not really sure what to say. The airport got messed up pretty good. After finally seeing interior shots Im doubting it will be open monday.

Sat under an overpass by Mid Rivers and I-70 with some friends during the whole thing. Didnt want any hail to hit their cars.

Got some heavy rain and lightning, and for a bit the wind picked up alot and kept changing directions.

Snapped this pic also:

I just got home I had 4 different houses to check out. St Ann by the airport got it real bad and Maryland heights got it pretty bad also. I drove by the airport to check it out and there is just chunks of buildings and trees everywhere almost all the signs are down and there is no power at all. There was literally cement and rebar in the street and whole trees.

It's pretty bad by Chris and I. It looks like the tornado only missed us by a quater to half a mile. We still have no power.

Headed to the Cards game yesterday around 12:30 and 70 was at a crawl, so i turned around at the Rock Road and it looked like a War Zone. On the way home this morning I got to see the rest of it.

The Hubcap and Wheels Store looks like it was cut in half and then thrown to the wind, trees are down everywhere, the houses have more blue and green on them from tarps having to cover holes in their roofs than shingles on them. the giant electronic billboard right behind the Hubcap and Wheel store is folded up like origami, and I've never seen so many neon yellow Ameren Electric outfits in all my life.

The hotels off Lindberg and 70 have damage as well. blown out windows and tarps on their roofs as well. All the road signs for Food, Gas, and such are folded over and even the heavily build road signs over Lindberg are folded over and destroyed.

I've driven by 3 times just to see it and I'm still shocked with every time I see it.
