Tornado may have hit Hollywood Casino- St. Louis

Reports are coming out of the area that the roof might have been torn off the building. They are sending reporters to the area. We don't have power right now. Winds hit 50-70 MPH. Neighbors flagpole got knocked over and just missed our cars.

As far as we know, there are no serious injuries in the area so that's good news. As long as I have power to the laptop, I'll keep passing on news.

If anyone has family in the St. Louis area, here's a link to a local news cast.

"Hollywood Casino St. Louis is temporarily closed because of the power outage from Friday's storm. The casino in Maryland Heights [MO] does not have any structural damage and hopes to reopen later Saturday when power is restored."

My area is still without power. No telling when we'll get it back. Last time we had this problem, we were one of the last people to get reconnected. We're safe, that's all that really matters.

I hope everyone is safe. Rayxtwo, thanks for the link.

I'm always amazed how one property can be devastated and the one next door barely scathed.
