Rough, but haven't lost power in my area. A person never knows where
the grid supplier is, or how it may be effected. Located 90 miles
north of Springfield, 50 miles sounth of
I-70. Angled accross in a NE direction, then broke and shifted about
80 mles south, broke again shifted another 90 miles. We caught one day
of the storm. South of here would see two or three days, depending on
how the fringe overlapped. St Louis looks like it followed I-44 from
Springfield. South of St Louis has gotten all 3 waves of the storm.

One place in Missouri that comes to mind is College of the Ozarks.
They have a large classic collection of orchids that were donated 40
-50 years ago. Located outside of Branson, they probably got hammered.
Don't know their situation or whether they have a back up to supply
heat.

I hope no one is caught without power due to the Midwest ice. We had
photos tonight of St. Louis on the News. They said many were without
power in the cold.

Anyone able to give us an update?
