Eleven fatalities in Missouri.
Geez ...
That's the closest I've come to one of these beasts. Rode it out in my cellar and heard a pretty good roar and a transformer pop before the lights went out. Then I sat watching on my phone as James Spann told me a trailer park 3-4 blocks away took a direct hit. Now that I'm back in the house I can see blue lights everywhere looking out my bedroom window down the hill back into downtown. I have no business getting down there to see the extent of the damage and so I won't.
The Walmart three miles north also got hit and apparently trees are down and someone is trapped in a car on the interstate close by. I live one exit down from the NWS office and they wound up taking shelter and turning the controls over to the meteorologists in Georgia until it pashed.
But I'm ok.
