Niether of these two directly effected me personally, but I was only 4 miles away from the path of the "Good Friday" St. Louis tornado. I went down there and volunteered my time that night, and spent 5 hours directing traffic at a closed road so cleanup crews could clear the road of debris in Ferguson, Missouri.
