2222 - Head for the basement!!


Post 2222. Is 2222 the sign of the devil like 666? Because the devil paid St. Louis a visit again like it has be doing the past several springs. I found this picture from two years ago but it was the same thing last night.


A storm came up I44 from Sullivan MO. In Sullivan they had 101 MPH straight line winds. When it got to St. Louis it had split into two separate storms. The southern portion of the storm went right over my daughters neighborhood. Her house was OK but a few blocks away several people lost their roofs and lots of trees. Not sure if it was an official tornado.

The northern track of the storm went through North St. Louis county as it did last year. It tore off roofs, knocked down tree and utility lines. The news says this track was a tornado for sure.

Now the news is saying there may be damage along a track that a tornado from two years ago took. That was near my house.

Here's a tornado activity map.


At least Missouri isn't solid dark red.

Oh I see your issue and understand your comment to me.

I don't wish to trade but hope you and Claudia will not be blowing in the wind any time soon!

Dianne - I thought we might make the national news today.

Peg - I just looked at the weather map again. The huge storm that came through here looks like it's getting ready to pounce on the East coast.
