Seems like you guys had a close call with that Tornado! Hope you are all safe and sound!

Yeah, Joplin is 75 miles west of Springfield, so the RPPR crew is fine. Still have thunderstorms over here though.

Essentially, if that same storm had veered a bit north instead of a bit south as it came east, we all could have gotten it in the face. A bit as in about 10 miles. I was watching the radar with *extreme* intent about 710 last night.

Working in Edmond, I can attest to that. My car got washed with 60mph near-horizontal rain. I'm really glad it didn't get any worse than that, because our shelter is in an unventilated men's restroom  :(

I'm glad you made it through it, that storm was brutal.
