30 people injured at new Busch Stadium during severe storm
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2524580 Wow. I happened to catch this as it happened on the radio, I didn't realize it was quite this bad. A violent storm hit St. Louis during the Cards game tonight, I guess it had wind gusts over 80 mph. The Cards announcers said it was one of the worst storms they'd ever witnessed at a game, I guess they weren't exaggerating. 30 people were injured, 5 hospitalized. The storm blew out press box windows, overturned things, and lifted the tarp off the field and actually ripped it apart. Probably amazing we don't see more things like this in the midwest during storm season. |

This morning's second round of extreme storms has pushed the total number of homes without power up to over 568,000. Ameren UE said they hope to have most of it restored by the end of Sunday, but that many homes will still be without power for another 6-7 days. At least one municipality on the Illinois side is also without water.

Glad your back home....
Sh1t ass utility Ameren UE. Maybe this will bring their lack of intrastructure replacment and planning to light. Talked with folks in Wentzville last nite watching Cards they were staying at hotel. Lived in N County....still without power. Glad to be in St.C with Cuivre River Electric Coop. Outage here 730pm-600 am on last storm. Total outage in ~20 years. Less than 1.5 days total.

Now it's on to shitass Dishnetwork. All I have is a bent standpipe, and I can't get someone to come out for less than 60 and another 20 for the f@cking foot long metal tube. After just pre-paying a year of service not two weeks ago.
