Before heading off from St Louis yesterday morning, we had seen on TV that there were Tornados in the area. Cool I say, lets go and see if we can see one. We had lunch at this great little Hickory BBQ place along Rt66 and the staff were saying something about Tornados being 10 miles away. That's all good. We hop in the car and head off. Serena took the video below while we were driving beside Interstate 44, we were thinking the lightning looked mad and the dark clouds, like a pretty serious storm. Just after the video finished, we looked to the left side of the car and there was shit flying in the air. (I mean shit like fence palings, big branches, that kinda of shit!) You know like in the movies. Holy crap I tell ya. We turned around and headed back into the town we had just left. Sirens were blaring so we ducked into a supermaket and waited for the rain and wind to stop. After it looked to have passed, we drove back down the I44 and saw a water tower in the middle of the road, houses and trees ripped up and a semi-trailer over turned. Madness! The forecast for today is more bad weather. We're outta here :-)
