We've been having some pretty crazy weather here in the "Lou" the last few days. Right now it's drizzling and pretty chilly outside (only 63 degrees). Yesterday was quite a trip. Massive thunderstorms swept through the area around 3 PM bringing insanely high winds and large amounts of golf ball sized hail to some areas. The hail busted car windows and dented aluminum siding on houses all over the storms path. St. Louis City put out an "urban flood warning" something that almost never happens. But the city streets were indeed 2 Ft deep with water in some places. They shut down highway 40 and 55 for two hours due to flooding on the highway. Trees are down all over the place. In fact, just driving home yesterday I saw three or four that were toppled. This is supposed to continue right through Memorial Day too!! That really sucks. There goes any plans for BBQ's. Good thing we're not doing the annual camping trip this weekend.
