...the nasty ball of hate that descended upon the St. Louis area from the northeast last night. An unusually mighty storm composed of wind, rain, thunder and copious lightning roared through around 7 pm last night. The usual chaos, mayhem, panic, and general disorder that one might expect with a storm like this is present in different parts of the metro area this morning. My electricity is off and likely will be for a good while as news reports say as many as 500,000 customers are also electricity-less. Miraculously, my trees survived the onslaught with only minor damage. I have a front and back yard full of limbs but that's about it. The city itself got hit extraordinarily hard, apparently. My brother and sis-in-law are without power in their little corner of the city. My employer, the Only Local Metropolitan Daily Newspaper In Town, did lose power and it affected today's edition to an extent.
Oh, and today's going to be the hottest day of the year!
