If you're in St. Louis, DUCK!

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Fri May 02, 2008 7:09 am

I'm on the phone with one of my internal customers in the St. Louis area and they're getting a TERRIBLE storm. He says it looks like there may be tornadoes.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

I will have to turn on the radar and see.

It looks nasty outside, but it's looked like that since yesterday afternoon....

Yow. We've had customer reps from out that way here for the last few days. Not sure if they went back last night or are heading there this AM. Hope it was last night and they're nicely under cover right now.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

And I'll take it over a Friday morning earthquake anyday.

Of course, it has yet to do anything outside..... it'll probably fall victim to the Arch Effect like every other storm....

Actually I was in Bentonville, Arkansas and then Kansas City for a year. We had some bad storms in Bentonville.

The storm was a major disappointment, but I'm sure there'll be more later on today....

Probably while I'm trying to sleep....

Not too much to worry about. Mother Nature was just giving the Cub fans their yearly bath.

Now if we could just get them to use some soap........


never mind.....



too much to hope for.
