That storm

That storm that woke me up at 4 in the morning with those strange whooshing sounds? Take a look at this (I say as a total layman when it comes to weather):Those are wind gusts above 60 mph; and look at the barometric pressure dropping right before 4 am. This storm barely scratched St. Louis, (it broke barometric pressure records in the upper midwest a little later in the day). But it's like a wall at 4 am there, bam. I love weather.

That storm totally woke me up, too. The wind was amazing, so glad that I didn't have to go out in it!!

That's so funny! I wouldn't have even known where to go to find that information! Very cool.

It woke me up. The wind shifts were banging a couple of doors in the house.
