TDIRunner | 2,744 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 We've had tornado warnings most of the evening. This Amazon warehouse is 5 minutes from my house. https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/local/major-amazon-warehouse-edwardsville-illinois/63-25e05131-738d-4bf6-af52-5b5820f2301b Arkansas also had some bad storms with at least two deaths. It's been a crazy evening. Hopefully no more major injuries. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeldaFreak | 3,600 Events Team · Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kguillemette | 1,545 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
