Not sure I understand the argument lol. This was the strongest storm complex to come across the metro in a little while. Kind of non arguable lol.

Thats the exact path my first tornado went back in 11. Finally produced around honey bend. Good luck. Luck wasn't on my side today. Headed out about 10mins too late and couldn't catch the tornado before it cycled so I dropped south to catch the next storm in line and got stuck in torrential rain between them. It didn't help that my phone was about dead and radarscope wouldn't refresh after about 530 for some reason. |

For North St. Pete, it was nothing more than a garden-variety thunderstorm. The Davis on the roof here recorded .56"

I was out front and didn't see too much swirling. Just heavy rain, pea sized hail, and the wind after the line moves through is cold.

Did High Ridge get hit by a tornado? The velocity signature looked very impressive as it passed through.

Hearing of possible damage in the Eureka area. They are moving some regional fire assets to the area.

On the Fenton/Valley Park Line (141/44), I recorded .74 of rainfall and a shocking 19mph! I don’t believe my sensor is high enough, nor do I have the spot to mount it high enough... I’d estimate winds with my trained eye to be approx 40-45mph with gusts being a little higher as the line moved through. I think the max intensity of the storm passed a few miles south near Gravois Bluffs. Stay safe out there folks, this was a robust line that popped right over metro STL.

As long as they have some mood thunder with them it will be excellent.
And I just love telling my lab tech I'm working with that if the connection suddenly drops from me to their system, it's not my fault, blame it on the tornado.

Did High Ridge get hit by a tornado? The velocity signature looked very impressive as it passed through. I've been looking around and haven't seen much of anything other than some power outages more in the Murphy area. I was at work near Manchester and 270 at the time but was watching radar scope. Between the velocity signature and the correlation coefficient, it looked like a debris ball went right over my house which is right near Dillon and 30. Fortunately, when I got home it was just a lot of rain and some patio chairs knocked over. |

People come here for information, they CANNOT read things like that. Its irresponsible in the middle of the event. I read that while my workplace was getting buffeted by 60-70mph winds and i had over 75 people sheltering. If the forum had a block button, i'd use it. |

One afternoon we had and a tornado headed right toward the the house. I told my supervisor I needed to log off and go to the basement. In spite of the video I sent them with the black sky and sirens wailing they refused to make it as excused time off. |

Definitely a tornado south of Prairetown. Damage to a farm south of town is extensive.

The preceding ten minutes on radar had a couple hooks just north of eckert's. Just from knowing the lay of the land, I can tell the camera is on the house on green mount looking nnw. |

The most extensive tree damage I saw was in St. Louis County along Meramec Station, Hillsboro and Hawkins/New Sugar Creek Roads and that wasn't really all that much. I also covered about a mile or so north and south of 30 from Northwest Blvd. to Rock Creek Road. |
