MAY STORMS WREAK HAVOK

A series of tornados swept through the Four States on the evening of Saturday May 10th. Stephanie and Keira took cover in The Plaza's clubhouse while Morgan was at work. Morgan had his entire 6 o'clock sport's segment produced and ready to go about 5:30 when the chaos broke loose in parts of Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. A tornado was even spotted by KSN's chief meterologist, Gary Bandy, not too far from the station and instructed everybody there to be ready to duck and cover, meanwhile, giving updates to viewers every few minutes. Needless to say, sports was cancelled that day and Morgan volunteered to take up as a news reporter. He drove out to a small town called Granby, Missouri where folks had lost everything in the flash of an eye. These are a few small examples of what a ticked off Mother Nature can do.

We were fortunate enough not to be hit ourselves, unlike the 24 who lost their lives, not to mention the countless others who had everything demolished, lost or scattered. Morgan was proud of Steph and the baby for braving the moody and unpredictable elements, while he wept side by side with some of those affected.
