this was one of our urban wide storms. it came right through the metropolitan area but it doesnt seem to have hit the rural areas. a few trees have fallen and some tree limbs. there were a few accidents on the roads for those who were out driving. i am getting texts from family & friends and it looks like all are okay. the weather folks are out trying to see if there were any touchdowns.

i am 3 blocks south of a flood plain (a creek runs right through my neighborhood) so i am listening to see if we have any flood warnings. wow these things happen so fast. i heard the tornado sirens, turned on the news and had about 10 minutes before the storm, hail & rotation clouds was on top of us.

Mary I hope all is ok now for you out there.

My SIL lives in Baldwin (I guess it is a suburb of St. Louis).

Thanks for the info. I will be on the lookout for some.

all seems to have quieted down some. it's ballwin, also a suburb of st. louis (im in the burbs too) and it's where that great fabric sale was today.

K - Tim wanted me to tell you THANKS again for the router.

He has it up and running on the network here at home.

Thank you so much for the beautiful red Gingham you sent and the Pez candy..The candy made it into my hands and into my mouth in minutes :thumbup:..Diana

PS..If anyone has any rain they would like to send, that would be awesome :D...

I'm so glad he found it useful. I don't even remember why I purchased it, but it was when we were using Optimum. When we switched to FIOS you don't have a router. YAY! More room on my desk for ... ???
