This week has sucked as far as weather is
concerned....

Really bad storms in St Louis on Wednesday night...hundreds of thousands lost power.

Got a day off from work yesterday

Went into work today...electricity was on..

Around 11AM ANOTHER but less intensive storm (when compared to Wednesday night) comes through and OFF goes the electricity...NOW over half a million people are without electricity including some of my friends.

You know that w/o electrical power it's a wee bit difficult to get gas for a car or scooter.

1. Here, too
Bad storms on Tuesday - very humid - in the high 90s earlier in the week.

Everyone have a good weekend, despite what the weather is where you are! :hi:

3. Our power was on and off all of yesterday
It was really grey and humid as well, in addition to being blazing hot. It's back to normal (over 100 but not humid) now though.

4. Temp on the other side of the state
dropped down to the late 70's today. It feels fantastic.

I posted an article about the power outage in the MO forum.

5. Bad storms here in Wisconsin Wednesday night although not as
severe as those in St. Louis. On July 9th we had two bad T-storms in a two hour period with lots of power outages, tree damage and street flooding.

I'd take a good snowstorm any day.
