A line of thunderstorms moved across the state early this morning.  Between yesterday morning’s showers and the storms today, we received 0.27″ total rain over the past 24 hours.  We have been lucky that the storms affecting the mid portions of the country have diminished significantly before reaching our area.  Once again, Missouri is the victim of Mother Nature’s wrath causing severe damage to that state.  This year’s spring weather has been very damaging to this country.  I hope it ends soon.
