More Storms in the Midwest

There was a horrible batch of tornadoes that struck my home town of St. Louis, Missouri yesterday. Unbelievably nobody was killed. The tornado, packing 170 mph winds, tore the roof off one of the biggest international airports in the world, Lambert Field. They claim it's the worst storm to hit that town in 40 years.

There have been 550 tornadoes in the U.S. Just in the month of April with more severe storms on their way. I need to contact my brother & his wife to make sure they're alright. They live on their farm just across the Mississippi river from St. Louis. I'll let you know if they made it through alright.

I sent them an email last night but have no idea how long it will take for them to respond. I tried calling but they must have changed their phone number as the operator said the old one has been disconnected. I asked for any new one in the email.
