We began having a number of freak thunderstorms today. The worst of it was that the wind was so hard, it uprooted a 30-40′ tree in my backyard. I’ve got to find a way to clean it up tomorrow! Unfortunately we didn’t realize that until it was too dark to take a picture. We did get some pictures, or I should say Tracy got some pictures, of the pond that my backyard has become as well as the hail that covered our yard today.

This is a good pictorial look at what Missouri can be like.
