How on earth are there no damage reports coming out of that? Saving grace may be that it was at its worst over rural areas. Hopefully lots of that debris was leaves. 1. If the radar is percise on location, it JUST missed the town of Augusta to the south/east and would have been over very rural areas. 2. It may take some time to get to the hard hit areas given the rural nature. The fact that we've heard nothing scares me more because it makes me assume all communication is down in that area. I just got off the phone with a friend of mine who lives just outside of Augusta. Rode it out in their basement. Said that at their house, little to no damage...just some very small branches laying in their yard. Called his cell so communications are still good into that area. |

These spinups don't last long. Looks like circulation near New Athens and Baldwin IL.

Storm must have been slightly elevated here...highest wind was probably under 30mph...but I could see the remnant meso off to my north...defined wall cloud still present. We got lucky this time.

We ignored the siren in Festus as the worst had already passed over! We were in front of the TV as well as our phones so kept an eye out!
