Januarys are NOT good in MIssouri

This blog is for those who really don't live here, because Missourians experienced what I am blogging about today.

From 6pm last night until about 4a this morning, there were 62 tornado warnings! Some schools in the area are closed, we have had 6 deaths thus far, it was incredible. Not much sleep last night, as the sirens continued to go off and on all during the night. Even Clint called us about 245am to be sure we were up as the last of the big storms came through. Our TV coverage was fabulous, told us all evening exactly where the tornadoes were, mentioning several times the church a half a block away from us, and Clint's apartment complex was also mentioned as in the direct path of one of the tornadoes. At one point, CB and I heard what we believe was a tornado, and CB even pulled the mattress off the bed and into the hall. We never got under it, as we were too noisy and watching....and waiting. The Lord certainly protected us! It is still dark and we cannot see the real damage yet. I will be leaving for work in a few minutes.

It was almost a year ago to date that we had the DEVASTATING Ice storm that paralyzed our city for almost 2 weeks!

January is NOT good in Missouri.....
