Tom, It is Satuyrday morning after the big tornado in st. Louis. I just
wanted ti be sure your Son and family are ok. St. Charles got hit pretty
bad in some areas. Lambert is a total mess, and Marilyn Heights and several
areas really have a tremendous amount of damage.
We were lucky here. There were two tornados and one went north of us and
the other went south. We got a pretty good thunderstorm out of it, but
little or no damage as far as I know.
I'll try to make the net this afternoon.
73
Kris
