Throughout St. Louis power lines are down, water is being boiled before consumed, streets are being cleared, and the occasional semi-trailer are being flipped back over.
They say it was the wind. I know it was a gang of Moot Drunk Ents rampaging. Storms here go West to East. This one went North to South, following the traditional path of migrating Ents.
And I walked out of my house this morning to go to work, and found my van had been brutally assaulted by what appears to be a sleeping ent. The back end is viscoulsy crushed.
I've seen LotR-TTT. I know what those wooden vandals can do, and this pretty much looks the same.
They found two giant ents sleeping it off in the middle of the road. Viscous vigilantes with chain saws sought revenge. It was not pretty. There were leaves and sawdust everywhere.
I should be revolted at what those saw weilding maniacs did to those two road blocking Ents. Instead I keep seeing my sweet innocent, hard working and productive friend--the van, and the violation those Ents inflicted on it.
I'll try to get pictures of the attrocity later.

I heard about that on the radio this morning on the drive in. A heck of a gust front in front of a big thunderstorm. Tore up your area pretty darn good, it sounded like.

Wow, I hadn't heard about this. Glad your sense of humor made it through the storm intact. I take it that your house escaped damage?

How dare you!? You know very well that the ancient Brother Trees uprooted themselves on your van, which was obviously presenting a threat to the Mother Tree. How dare you!?!?!?

If anyone murdered any Ents, I'll be there. The ENT --> ent national torch-fighters --> will not stand for this.

Phanto, you must blame the State, for it was men in uniforms--the dreaded "State Highawy Workers" uniform--or "The Orange Vest-ers" that I witnessed hacking and sawing their ways across to Ents uprooted and laying across the road.
Then there was my van. I beleive it was a Robot-in-disguise. How else could it have fought off the giant Ent. It transformed into a robot and fought bravely to defend our home/garage from the wooden menace.

Dan - how far are you from Labadie, MO? And did they get hit as bad? Because I know someone in a mobile home there. And that is near St. Louis somewhere...

Actually I was raised quite close to Labadie. My parents live in Villa Ridge, about 10 miles from Labadie.
My parents were without power for one night, but that was it. Most of the big damage was farther north, but trees were blown down just about everywhere.
