Greetings on this late Friday night. As some of you may be aware by now, severe weather has blown through portions of the Midwest tonight. So far, one person has died in Arkansas, and there was a roof collapse outside of St. Louis, and is being described by local officials as a mass casualty incident.
Before COVID hit, I had once thought about relocating to the St. Louis area. One of the places that I had an eye on as far as employment was concerned was Amazon, probably the warehouse in Edwardsville that was damaged tonight.
I could have been in that building tonight...

An update from late last night, as of now at least 50 people are dead in Kentucky alone as a result of these storms, one such tornado slamming into the town of Mayfield, KY head-on. Bowling Green, KY was also smashed a result of this storm. According to one report, last nights' tornado may have broken the longest continuous path record, set back in 1925.
You know, this should raise plenty of eyebrows of those who still think that global warming isn't a thing. Storms like the ones last night usually occur in spring, not two weeks before Christmas...
More to come...
