Last night the St.Louis and surrounding areas had some very severe storms, there are 500,000 people without power (ktschris is one) there was 92 mile and hour wind"s and lightning like I have never seen in my entire life!!! Ktschris has been looking for a hotel room and there are NONE in St.louis to be found, we had record breaking heat today and many people have to deal with this at least for two to three days (thats what ameren U.E is predicting as of right now) I am one of the lucky ones, I have ac and my food is not spoiling and our neighborhood only had to deal with six or seven trees down.
I know what your thinking..................why dont you have Ktschris stay with you!!!!..........well I have my Mom here, she had a heart attack last week and she just couldn"t deal with the heat......I just wanted to pass this along, this is the craziest thing to happen in our area for a while!!!!!
 
How awful. We've been through the same experience here in Indianapolis--July thunderstorms roll through, knock out the power, the whole wazoo. The heat only intensifies the misery. I think it was 2-3 Julys ago that we went without electricity for three and a half days. It gives you a whole new perspective on life, when you're in total darkness every evening, way before the regular bedtime. And meals! It makes you really creative, not having a stove or fridge. Thank god for gas grills.


If we weren't five hours away, I'd offer our spare bedroom. :(
 
How awful!! Tell ktschris that I'm thinking of her--and all others affected. She can come on down to Texas and stay in my upstairs.
 
That is truly awful! I can't imagine being without A/C right now. If my place in FL was available, I'd have you tell her to head south! Tell her we are thinking of her, but don't mention how cool we are in our A/Ced homes!
 
I'm so sorry, I wish there was something I could do. Why do these things always happen at the hottest or coldest day of the year? We'll be thinking of you all.

seagrovelover, I was going to ask about you girls today; wondered if either of you had been affected. The lightning was something else! A friend of mine said she actually saw red lightning last night. Can't believe we just went through this months ago, and here we are again. There are areas in Fairview Heights that still aren't totally repaired from the last storm, and now the entire city is out of power again. We were lucky here in Belleville, so sorry to hear about poor ktschris.
 
Same thing here in N. Louisiana. We had a fierce storm last night that came from Mississippi. They never move in that direction. Lovely green sky, hail, 70 mph winds...lots of power out. It did move us down 20 degrees for the night which was a blessing, but it's about 100 again today. I can't wait to get to SoWal on Sat. I dont'' care if it freakin' rains the entire time as long as it isn't 100 degrees or more.
 
Shoot! Wish Georgia wasn't so far away! Plenty of room and power! Are there any guesstimates on when power may be restored?
