The St. Louis area is waking up this morning to coverage of tornado damage again. Our neighborhood was, thankfully, not touched. We live within a very very short drive of Lambert St. Louis Airport, in biking distance from some of the neighborhoods in Maryland Heights and Bridgeton that were hit.
For our family, we spent an evening in our basement watching storm coverage on TV. We skipped dyeing Easter Eggs for the night. We huddled in the corner farthest from the windows and waited for the house to shake. It didn't. Except for a few pings that were probably hail hitting windows upstairs, we were not touched. The power flickered once, briefly, and came right back.
We have friends who lost power and one who was at the airport when it was hit (she's fine). Overall, I feel very grateful to have power and a house and a roof. We were barely inconvenienced and I feel both relieved and guilty about that.

Glad to hear nothing happened at your house.
We were at the Good Friday service at church. Early on the tornado siren went off, but everyone stayed where they were. Our building is made of brick and doesn't have a whole lot of windows :-)
I'm so glad you're alright. Thanks for posting on FB too. I might not have responded quickly, but I was extremely grateful to hear that you and your family were all okay. Happy belated Easter.
