Not so happy New Years Eve for some
The weather here in the midwest has been like a roller coaster. Starting Christmas Eve we had a beautiful white Christmas with very cold temps. By New Years Eve day the temps were 30 degrees below - like 60! By mid day tornado warnings were out and we had 8-9 tornados touch down in Missouri with one only 5 miles away. I knew Larry could make the basement steps because he had worked at it with the PT here, and on a stairwell in outpatient therapy. He never goes to the basement now. He wouldn't go down, so we sat until the warnings were over for our area. Several houses in a nearby county south of us were totally demolished and people were saying they just made it to their basements. Only 5 lives lost totally, due to the warnings on TV and sirens going off. This was the worst tornado damage in history and on New Years Eve Day! After we saw all the devastation, we know that is the safest place to go. Winds were 160 miles per hr. I pray for those poor people left with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
