Major Storm Damages In Missouri

  Wow, Just as I was serving our main meal at 2pm yesteray-4th of July-the electric went out. It was weird too a lot of popping sounds usually the electric just goes out.

 As I am serving our meal-all of a sudden out of no where-a huge storm with ocean type waves on our Lake in the Ozarks shows up. There were lots of boats on the lake at the time. The strong gusts of winds lasted awhile-was thinking of all those boaters out there-hoping they made it to safety. The time this storm hit is actually the prime time of when most boaters get on the lake.

 Usually there are tons of fireworks near me-there was none last night. There was a lot of fireworks on the 3rd-I think many near me packed up and went home as we had no electric for around 4 1/2 hours.  I fell asleep waiting to watch fireworks in DC last night- which had gotten delayed do to storms there. Just woke up around 1:30 am. Wanted to search online about information on this storm that hit the lake.

  Looks like a lot of damages here

I found this video-the waves were actually much higher than this shows where we are on the lake 

 I found this video on facebook 

  One of my main concerns was how long the spare oxygen tank would last for Larry-When they delivered oxygen a week ago they also brought a tank-he said in case of power outages. That didn't last very long-used half of the tank waiting for the electric to come back on.

 I am thankful my area on the lake around me looks pretty safe. The city I shop for food mostly in and has the courthouse for this area-Versailles got hit pretty hard.

  It is 2 am right now-neighbor is now shooting off fireworks??  I think I will read for a bit til I go back to sleep.
