God decided to unleash his heavenly wrath upon Springfield, MO several times in the past two weeks. For those of you that don't know what I'm talking about, consider yourself lucky. Starting around 8am on friday the 8th, a line of severe weather thumped us a good one. We've seen some hairy weather down here, but never a sky that green (the pictures don't do it justice!). Little tornadoes (EF 1, 60-70 mph winds) were popping up for short bursts, knocking down trees and blowing windows out at the mall and some stores south of us. Up here we only got wind and rain (lots of it). The day ended up being gorgeous- clear blue skies and in the high 70s.
The same thing happened last wednesday (the night my parents got into town). Not as big of a deal for us, but the wall cloud (big funnel in the sky) passed right over the hotel my parents were in. The next day was beautiful, which made up for it.
The only picture that (almost) captures the green sky.
you can hear the sirens in the over the rain and the flashes are lightening
