Not sure how many of you keep up with the weather around here, but we got blasted by tornadoes last night and two of my turkey hunting areas barely escaped tornados.
Ferguson will know the areas I'm talking about and several others will too on here.
Branson was hit pretty hard (nothing like Joplin but then again that's a once in a lifetime freak storm). Several buildings were destroyed on the strip and by Skaggs hospital.
Buffalo, Conway, Lebanon, and Bennett Springs Area took some damage too. I have a farm North of Conway and luckily it missed there...
I was making calls and seeing how/who needed help when I was looking through the pictures and low and behold my heart sank. The place I shot my bird on last year is right by Edgar Springs. In the photos was the gas station I always stop at and get food and supplies from while up there... only problem is the gas station was no longer standing! I called the farmers and made sure they were ok. This storm missed them by about 2 miles! I hadn't talked to them in a while and it was a relief listening to their voices!!!
The biggest one I've seen so far is an ef2 that touched down, but it was a hairy night in the Ozarks!
Ferguson I didn't hear anything about your area, so I hope all is well that way!!
From pulling an all nighter Monday and getting sick again.. it's been a crazy week! A tornado was spotted over my home town, but I slept through the sirens... so glad it didn't touch down!
As spring approaches, everyone be safe and careful out there!
