I always thought for the Braves to beat the cards like they did the first 2 games, hell would freeze over. Didn't think of storms.

At least there is power downtown which = a/c

My daughter-in-law has a friend who was in the bar in the Soulard area that collapsed during Wednesday night's storm. She just e-mailed to say that her friend's husband is paralyzed from the waist down as a result of injuries suffered in that collapse. I don't have any other details. Hopefully the paralysis is temporary. They are in their mid-20's and have only been married one year. This is so sad.

Luvthebeach that is so sad; I am sorry to hear it.
I just read that another storm is rolling through St Louis?!

 

[ktschris]

Luvthebeach, I'm so sorry to hear that. I will keep them in my prayers.

This is so sad guys. I'm so sorry. Sorry so late onto the thread. I was gonna tell ktchris to head down this way and stay in my place but happy to hear your power is back. People don't realize how nasty it gets without power and water but it's terrible.

Seagrovelover, it must have been so scary for you when your mom had the attack. I'm glad she's doing better. Have funn in Branson .

Luvthebeach, thats absolutely tragic. My prayers are with them.

Steven's roommate in Columbia, MO says a friend of theirs at Wash U is coming to stay the weekend with him. The roommate's mom emailed me about it...she thought it sounded suspicious! Because of this thread, I was able to set her straight!I do hope people are gettting back to normal. This is like our first storm of the season.

Sunday at Noon and still no power--electricity is really overrated. It's amazing how many times you keep turning on the light switch or think about watching a sporting event on TV or listening to the radio. At least the temps have cooled off.

Wow, I feel for you STL....my sister's power came back on yesterday morning. I have a friend that lives in Oakville -- he is still w/o power, but they were told maybe by 9 tonight. And there is ice available again, it was hard to find for the last couple of days. It is a relief that the temp has come down, I actually had to wear a sweatshirt last night.

Sports update...Cards won, and Tiger won.
