    Severe Weather

    I reside in the United States, Central (St. Louis City). Lately, America through the midwest has seen an erruption of what's now known as the largest tornado streak to date (consecutively speaking). The most recent in my area was within a mile of my current residence in the outskirts of the city of St. Louis where the torando hit the highway I take daily, and also hit some of the Lambert International Airport. To go farther west to counties I use to live in such as Wentzville, tornados were more common..but lately it seems tornados are imcreasing their ferrocity into the city itself.

    There were also reports of that massive tornado in Alabama if I'm correct, and the tornado was half the city wide! It's really unbelieveable.

    Has anyone else endured some of this harsh weather? I'm sitting at work right now and the skies suddenly turned black outside and I looked and found this report - Severe Weather Path for USA

    Here we go again....

    Ugh, tornadoes really freak me out, especially when they're so huge and destructive. Although in a way they interest me, I'm glad I don't live where they're so common.

    I heard of the past tornado outbreak on the news here, and how hundreds of tornadoes touched down across several states within a day. You're right, there was a really bad one in Birmingham, Alabama. My heart goes out to the victims and their families.

    Stay safe Utora. I hope the tornadoes stay clear of you and anyone else who lives in the area.

    Tornados and flooding in the central and lower US, Earthquakes in Japan and now Spain, a sudden volcano eruption in Italy. I would say that mother nature is mad. I am NOT looking foward to huricane season...

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.

    I... Should run into the nearest underground shelter.

    Indeed, the earth and the weather are definitely moving right now. I think we live in a right time for the weather change and wrong season who are affect in this tragedy.

    My condolences and prayers to the victim of the mother earth "catastrophe".

    That's KS.

    It is peculiar how Earth is on the fritz with all of these things, several years ago Missouri had an earthquake..minor, but the last one was a few hundred years ago that changed the path of the Mississippi River itself. These things like earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, tsaunamis, erruptions are scaring some people into thinking radical things which is another subject I guess....



    But it's more frequent, more extreme than it's been in a while. I'll see how tonight goes with this tornado threat. Also was talking with some friends at a party last night, there's reason to believe there will be an earthquake along certain fault lines soon, including the fault line that runs right up by my city. All I'm going to say is St. Louis is not ready for that.



    What happens will happen but things are surely happening out there. I hope the best for those caught in it.

    & here we go, again again.

    I was about 3 miles north of this, the direction it was heading, parked in front of a house. I heard the radio, ignored it. Got out of my car, tried all the doors and in a few minutes it went from rain to downpour with hail the size of golf balls hitting me and I got in my car and parked in a neighbors parking space, they have a pavilion and nobody was home. My recent estimate for previous hail damage from the LAST storm, is 730USD. That's all I was thinking about when I parked under the pavilion. Then I could see the funnel cloud forming and I was frozen for a while under the pavilion..nowhere to go...apparently it's heading up north at 40mph. And we're getting more from the southern areas but I'm indoors now. A bit of a rush.
