A very scary evening here -- storms and tornadoes have pummeled us for days and tonight it was a little too close for comfort.
A tornado touched down at Lambert Airport tonight around 8:15. You're probably saying, "So what? The Midwest is known for their crazy springtime weather and chances for tornadoes."
And I would agree with you, of course when you live less than a mile from the airport, it starts to freak you out a bit. Tonight was one of those nights when I was at a complete loss as for what to do and where to go. I saw the circulation in the air and couldn't believe it.
Definitely don't think I could be a storm chaser.
Saturday morning update:
After all of the devastation last night, here's the latest from KMOV.com..
Now the fun begins -- figuring out which areas that I regularly travel were hit and avoiding them until all of the damage is assessed and cleanup begins. Thank goodness most of my friends in the area were not seriously affected by the storms and are safe and sound!

I saw the airport footage on the news and was wondering about you.
Yeah, it was definitely scary and the closest I've ever been to a tornado. Luckily, I live on the back side of the airport and we didn't get the damage that the other side did.
Today was the first day we've seen the sun in about a week. It was a pleasant sight for sure!
