This was a Wicked. Awesome. Storm. One minute it was a little dark, then the wind picked up, and 30 seconds later the skies opened and it started POURING. It put out the fire my dad had started in the backyard by the garden, and he was stuck in the barn for awhile. He made it back to the house by wrapping a tarp around himself and taking off. The power was flickering for awhile (but somehow did not go out completely - thankfully) and the crack-team working at the local weather station spent time taking calls LIVE ON THE AIR from people reporting damage all over the city, from trees down to power outages to trailer park damage to the guy that called to report that a tree had fallen on his house.
Read that last sentence again. I was in hysterics listening to that craziness. Wisconsin absolutely has nothing on the storms here in Missouri. Seriously.
