We've had tornado warnings most of the evening. This Amazon warehouse is 5 minutes from my house.

Arkansas also had some bad storms with at least two deaths. It's been a crazy evening. Hopefully no more major injuries.

Yeah, up in St. Louis where we are, we had a few very close calls, multiple tornadoes just barely missed us. Had a couple tornado warnings go off, but other than that the worst of it was just a few minutes of really bad thunderstorms and pretty bad winds. Power didn't go out though surprisingly.

It was crazy windy over here too last night, closer to Chicago.

It sucks that people lost their lives in that warehouse. Hopefully, casualties will be at a minimum for the storms from last night throughout the country.

That's crazy weather right there. That sucks about that Amazon warehouse, I hope they can get everyone out thats still trapped inside.

Man tornadoes are frightening. I've ridden out hurricanes before, but you have usually a week or so to prepare for them. Tornadoes just drop and boom there you go.

I went to bed pretty late, but at that time they were still reporting no injuries, but I was worried that information would change by morning.  Pretty sad to hear some people died.  I have a relative that works at Amazon (not this location) and unsurprisingly, they are crazy busy this time of year, and I wonder if they were working at the time or taking shelter.  This is pure speculation, but I'm guessing they were working at the time.  

This morning I also realized that the building hit wasn't the one I thought it was.  This building is about 10 minutes from me instead of the closer one, but that's still pretty close.
