Great video. I live out in Wildwood (west St. Louis county) and there were some amazing storms in April and May of 2011. I forget which storm it was, but my house was buzzed by a funnel cloud and it felt like the whole house was shaking on its foundation. I actually have a few photos of it somewhere. We are WAY down low in a hole in our neighborhood, so that probably spared our house from most damage besides some siding and soffit damage which was relatively minor. Many homes lost their roofs (shingles mainly) and and a few chimneys, but nothing too serious, I'm not a professional weather spotter but as you all can see here, it's a dangerous job in eastern Missouri with all of the hills. It's really hard to see what might be ahead of you!
I used to live in Kansas City, Missouri. Have you ever filmed "Spyder" Lightning? I've seen it streak across the sky during thunder storms while I was standing up that hill (can't remember the name of it) near Crown Center.

Thank you for warning drivers about the tornado ahead of them!!!
The same funnel that hit Lambert supposedly hit Granite City that night too. Especially around Hit n Run. That was a crazy evening.

Excellent footage! I too was on that cell. I was in IL and waited in Collinsville, IL as it crossed into IL.
I was on Choteau Island with a friend but the lightening got so damn bad we had to head out.

Hey guys I'm reading a strong ef4 tornado (post-inside airport (another video)) and outside. 30 mil in dmg. and only few injuries.
