How exciting. You saw this type of cloud? It is so gnarly looking that it seems impossible, like something that could only be drawn or painted.
My Mother In-Law lives in St. Peters. The next we chat with her I'll ask her about the flooding around her area. She didn't say anything about it tonight but I believe the conversation was mostly about her grand-daughter.
Fun post, WxWatcher. Thanks!
