I was a school 7th grader 12yo kid , we lived in Dellwood, it was about 7:10pm I think Tuesday, my mom doing dishes in the kitchen and I was in the living room watching a TV show called Daktari (it had a crossed eyed lion in the show) anyway without no warning that I remembered, NOT LIKE TODAY, the power went off, all of the windows in the back of the house blew in and then the complete roof of the house was gone and it was raining into the house and it was over, tornado gone in seconds, none of us hurt.
When you think about the weather warning back then, un-like today, this tornado had already been southwest of us like the airport and St. Ann but yet was still traveling towards our direction which it not yet reached us with no TV interruption to give TV viewers warning to take cover. I now would have to say, welcome any TV weather warnings, your life just might be saved
It's amazing to me that so many of us actually make it to adulthood, what with so many of Mother Nature's Less-than-joyful visits.
I seriously enjoyed your article. I'm new here and looking around. This is the first comment I'm making, actually. Just a suggestion... no offense or unkindness intended... but you may wanna' check the One area in your article, just below your first black and white picture; you mention the cost of the overall damage as being $15. Further, in today's market, you say that is equal to $125 Million! Correct me if I'm Wrong, but that sure is a Lotta' Increase on $15. *Grin*
After seeing the devastation spread all over town, in your photos, I'm inclined to think that the initial cost of all that damage MIGHT have been... Oh, maybe... three or four dollars MORE than you mentioned. :D
If it were MY article, I would HOPE that someone would tell me so I could make repairs. Jus' sayin'...
