While the sun is out now (4 p.m.) in the St. Louis area, from noon to 3 has been "disturbing". Multiple tornado and flash flood warnings, mostly 30-100 miles southwest of St. Louis, moving east at 25-50 mph. There MAY have been a tornado in St. Genevieve, MO, (wine country) but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Thousands out of power, hail as big as a tennis ball (TV news had pictures!), winds, etc. Had one or two thunderclaps so close and so loud that I could feel the floor "bounce" under my feet. Power glitched those two times for a fraction of a second each, causing me to have to reset 3 clocks and an answering machine both times.
