Re: [IRCA] MO tornadoes

[Bill Whitacre <billw@xxxxxx>]

I'm in St. Louis with our oldest son, bringing our van here for him to use over the summer during an internship at Brownshoe Company.

Had a pretty decent storm blow through around lunch time.  I watched a flatbed of drywall literally blow away, into the street - Forrest Lane - at a big construction project across the street from my hotel on the Central West End.

You'all have some pretty decent storms out here compared to we DC folks!

What happened Joplin though is really horrific!
