D2 was up from Houston.. She tells all her southern friends that

We've always done that. When they say get in the basement, we go out on the deck.
That move would have likely cost you your life Friday evening, if you were in the path of that monster.
I'm working on a firehouse project in Bridgeton, at I-70 and the Rock Road. For you locals, it is where the electronic / digital billboard sits, just west of Lambert. We had just finished demo on two buildings and were supposed to get temp power to the construction trailer tomorrow. The jobsite trailer is gone, the pole that the power was to come from is snapped like a twig and that digital billboard is laying on it's side, next to the interstate.
I had to go over that way, over the weekend. Hard to imagine the force of winds that can uproot 40-50'+ trees and snap utility poles like twigs.
