The worst part of the storms usually split and go around us to the north and south. I guess being at a higher elevation or something must affect the barometric pressure or something, but a lot of times, very severe storms to the west of us will lost a lot of their punch when they hit the Ozark Mountain plateau that we're situated in.Oh man y'all always get it a little worse than we do. Somehow when it comes over the river and hits the bluff it just goes back up in the atmosphere and away from the ground. I used to work downtown and watch storms do that. I didn't realize it was supposed to be so bad here today. And apparently right as the kids are getting out of school - that should be fun. Stay safe everybody.
