We've all heard in the news how hard Southeast Missouri got hit with an ice storm, well today I saw pictures of my husband's hometown, Lilbourn, MO. The damage from the ice is unbelievable. The town is still without electric. A gas station in town, which has older pumps, was able to hook up a generator and pump gas for people but ran out of gas with close to 40 vehicles still in line! People are starting to run out of gas for their generators. My in-laws came up to St. Louis to stay with us until the electric comes back on. I'm thankful they had a place to come because there are so many who do not. They are hoping for the National Guard to arrive soon. I'm hoping to put some of the pictures on the blog tomorrow.
