This past weekend I was with my family in St. Louis when the tornado took out the airport and several houses along Highway 40. We spent a few hours in our family friend's basement while baseball sized hail came crashing down on the roof. Luckily, the tornado touched down about 20 minutes from our location and we weren't directly affected. The Lambert airport was closed indefinitely for about 24 hours and the following day about 70% of the airport was up and running. We got to fly out the next day with no problem because our terminal had minimal damage. Several people's flights were cancelled so they had to fly out of Chicago, which is a 5 hour drive from St. Louis. There were no deaths from the tornado but there were multiple injuries and lots of structural, electrical, and landscape damage. After seeing all the destructive images on the internet I found an emergency preparedness quiz and decided to take. With all these crazy April storms occurring for the May flowers I thought it would be a good idea to stay informed. Scoring a 7/11 is more than half but not by much, can you do better?
