Power possibly out to as many as 329,000 in Metro St. Louis!

Hm, maybe. accuweather works well.

We had a power cut, too - yesterday. A lobstershop suffered 25000 lost, because fridges were without el.

St. Louis may declare a state of emergency...

LSR in with a gust measured to 92 mph - Macoupin Co, IL, about 30mi NNE of St. Louis. Also several reports of two to three foot diameter trees down south of town . . . that's one heck of a storm . . .

#31 Postby **CrazyC83** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 8:56 pm

84 mph wind gust in downtown St. Louis...Mayor to speak shortly...

WindRunner · #32 Postby **WindRunner** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:04 pm

More LSRs coming in . . . 1" hail and estimated 92mph wind in Hillsboro, which is about 30 mi S of downtown St. Louis. Further south (around DeSoto) an estimated 80mph gust. Still a very potent storm.

I heard that the Saint Louis Cardinals game had severe problems, press box windows were blown out.

#34 Postby **CrazyC83** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:06 pm

Hundreds of thousands (perhaps 500,000?) without power.

The Millennium Hotel in downtown St. Louis lost at least one window - a few were injured. The roof was also thrown off a building at a St. Louis airport.

Building completely collapsed as well.

Oh no, not one window blown out :roll:

. Thats not news. Maybe a baseball did it.

conestogo_flood · #36 Postby **conestogo_flood** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:10 pm

Ball lightning reported in the storms did I just hear?

Yeah, the game there has been delayed for a while. The number they just gave for power was 389,000 without.

WindRunner · #38 Postby **WindRunner** » Wed Jul 19, 2006 9:24 pm

Mayor's on now . . . says 70,000 without power in St. Louis proper . . . also says "significant damage" throughout city.

Police chief says one injury, an eight month pregnant women who was trapped in the building collapse.
