Huge storm rocked St Louis, MO last night, swooped in from the north with 80-90 mph winds, many big branches and trees 2-3 ft diameter were down. 400,000 without power (metro area is 2 million). Traffic was snarled this morning with stop lights out and trees strewn across streets. I was able to navigate the yellow tape on my bike and kept my same route. Already families are starting to congregate in parks, which I'm sure will increase as the day heats up to 100F, 116F heat index. I love riding my bike on "disaster days"!
