I like answers - and this seems to explain what happened on July 4th, and then possible for tonight as well - eyes on the sky!

If your 4th of July plans involved scrambling indoors as a wall of dark clouds rolled over the Lake of the Ozarks, you aren't alone. This past holiday weekend, Central Missouri got hit by a massive cluster of storms that knocked out power for thousands across the area, downed large trees on homes, a...

The July 4th Lake of the Ozarks Storm got us.
We along with everyone we know, are okay. We were on a boat doc when the storm hit.
While I watched the radar via apps on my cell, this still snuck up. We were outside all day. No tv. No radio. Only cell phones. We didn’t have any warnings. However, because I was watching radar, we were able to warn several that were out on the water. My wife and I made it back just as the storm hit, that’s how we ended up on a dock.
The winds were projected at 100 mph, and I can personally tell you that it’s hard to stand up and once you do, you do get hit with debris.
We are so thankful that nobody was hurt, actually a friend of ours fell and hit his head on the dock, but he is OK. Overall everyone is safe. Several items went into the lake, lots of property damage, and several trees down along with the loss of power. It definitely affected several people’s Holiday plans.

For Americas 250th Birthday, were able to make the best of it, that’s Missouri Strong, and in the end we still celebrated and watched an incredible firework show.

We must confess, this has taught us to be even more aware.

We do get better alerts when there is an amber alert than we do when there is a storm approaching, and while I’m sure they are working to make technology better for those of us you are not in front of a TV or radio, and rely the old-fashioned way on the sky, the storms are much more intense and call for the respect of our attention.

Myradar app is another app that has been recommended to us and seems to work fairly well.

We now have about 10 weather apps downloaded on our phones, as my wife family, and I are very outdoor people.

We didn’t have a storm shelter to go to, but just reminding everyone that we are here, and storm shelters is what we do 💓‼️‼️‼️‼️

Thursday Friday look to be interesting as far as radar and weather- eyes on the sky. And your weather apps ‼️
