Edgar Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 According to Doppler RADAR, a tornado just passed right overhead. I didn't see anything -- I was cowering in the basement. No damage here, so it must have been airborne. Not the sort of thing one expects mid-December. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwjones Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Glad you're safe. Looks like its now going through the boot heel. We're waiting for the system to pass through after midnight. Nothing like 70 degrees and a tornado warning for the 10th of December. I'd prefer my brother's winter weather advisory in Maine.

Edgar Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 The whole southern half of Missouri is getting clobbered. Keep your eyes open in Tennessee -- it's coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coytee Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Being in East TN, I don't think we have much to worry about. That said, I just took the dogs out for a walk. I got them ready, put my coat on and opened the door. It is essentially hot and humid outside, very strange. Sky's are tinted with red. Hope everyone is/stays safe.

Actually, just my phone and the NAS drive that I use to back up my computers. It went by incredibly quickly. When the news said, "It's now in Chesterfield Valley (MO) headed east-northeast, I headed for the basement. Left the TV on upstairs so that I could hear the updates. By the time I finished texting my family to say I'd taken shelter, the news said, "It's about to hit Maryland Heights (MO)," which meant that it passed literally right over me. Then it apparently went over Lambert airport and on to Edwardsville, IL. Unbelievably fast. Severe damage in Defiance, MO, and Edwardsville, IL. Don't know if that was one tornado or multiple.

nickyboy6100 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Yeah, I live in southern Indiana. We were under a pretty severe risk of getting those tornados. Thank god we didn’t and pray for all those that were affected. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 This one was bad, possible record breaking path on the ground, just scary looking in the nighttime video. Then afterwards the drone video of obliteration, not just "structural damage" Best wishes for all those affected by this one and the others Friday night.

Edgar Posted December 12, 2021 Author Share Posted December 12, 2021 Looks like we're in for another round of exceptionally warm weather this week: https://www.accuweather.com/en/winter-weather/december-heat-wave-to-send-temps-soaring-30-40-degrees-above-normal/1059866 I hope that this round ends better than the last. Be careful out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason str Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Lost a few dozen shingles off the roof yesterday and the power line came down right in front of the house, I'm one of the lucky ones judging by the pictures above and morning news. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woofers and Tweeters Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Last Sunday morning, I bought a spare chainsaw and drove 4 hours to Dawson Springs to help with the cleanup. Went there again this weekend and was able to help a few more families tarp roofs, saw trees and remove debris, debris which used to be someone's belongings. A rough time of year to be doing outside work, and they're just starting. I feel for them. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
