I’m so sorry. That’s awful. That sort of trumps my toppled tomato plants. Hope all are safe there! Yes, all safe. At least the tree spared the house...just took out the corner of our deck...where the grill sat, of course.Tried to post a picture here, didn't work so I put it on the FB thread...

Chatted late last night with my daughter...said "All she could see was a big dark cloud deck (interpreting her comments) and what looked like a wide dark "shaft" cloud that was on the ground", after that they "put the cats in their cages and beat feet" to the closet under the stairwell and covered up with blankets..." She also said that "at least all their cell phones were charged". Apparently, one of her room mates was really freaked out, because she was driving home to Columbia, MO and was right behind the big Jeff City tornado storm! Basically I said to both of them "Yeah, well you live in Kansas, they're kind of known for Tornados"

We were camped just outside of Springfield MO, at the KOA (Between Springfield and Republic basically, three miles from the airport or so (Farm Road 140 if you know the area). I had been watching/tracking that storm for the better part of the afternoon, knew it was coming in...but I gotta be honest...when that gust front hit, it was earlier than I expected it, and it came in fast...and strong. KY3 (I think it was them) TV out of Springfield said they had a 75MPH wind at the airport (that's what I remember) and they were begging people who might have families/friends "out on the water" to contact them and warn them...Springfield is roughly 45 miles or so north of Branson/the lake. It was a massive strong straight line wind Fortunately, there was a good line of trees on the edge of the campground which broke the wind. Then calm...about five to seven minutes later (best guess, I was too busy watching the TV in the outdoor kitchen of the camper) the main front came in...and the tornado sirens went off. The campground folks didn't warn anyone, no "get to the bathrooms, ect... California folk in the camper next to us had no clue what to do...so we marshelled everyone we could to the bathrooms. And just that quick, it was over. Maybe ten drops of rain with the whole thing. One heck of a lot of wind...And I certainly was not expecting the tornado sirens. Very little warning...the weather channel was busy reporting wall to wall on the big tornados up north...fortunately, I was able to pull up a decent radar even where we were...

Tornado sirens started about five minutes ago here in Rosewood heights. Sky got D A R K...with a strange color tint (that I remember from when I was stationed in Oklahoma City...the "BEAT FEET TO SHELTER NOW" color). Currently really dark, torrential downpour.
