Another round of severe weather

Well again tonight we had another round of severe thunderstorms, tornado warnings/watches, flash flood warnings/watches. Town tornados reported about 30mins from were I live.

Most sad case, a tornado hit Little Sioux Scout Camp about 1hour norht of Omaha. The camp is located in Iowa. 4 deaths, and 40 injuries, Some medivaced to sioux City, others to Creaighton Med. University in Omaha. Lets give our thoughts and prayers for the Scouts and all that were there, and their families.

I can feel for you...

Hang in tight and stay alert with the weather radio and local weather.

What a tragic story of the Scout Camp tornado strike. It's been top news down here in St. Louis.

We've been pounded all spring with tons of rain, tonados and severe storms down here. Last week a tornado was spotted only a couple miles from my work when the sirens were wailing.

Now we've actually had about 4 day of dry hot summer weather without rain, and guess what...

The Mississippi is now hitting floods levels here in St. Louis. Thank goodness we've closed the downtown flood gates. We sure hope this isn't going to be another 1993 Great Floods here again...
