Municipalities that were affected include Maryland Heights,  Bridgeton, St. Ann, Edmundson, Lambert St. Louis International Airport  (City of St. Louis), Berkeley, Ferguson, Pontoon Beach\/Granite City.&nbsp;  Remarkably, there were no fatalities with this event. This can be  attributed to the 34 minutes of tornado warning lead time, wall to wall  media coverage, and the actions of those in the direct path of the  tornado.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><br \/><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MwL1Hy4A1TE\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"390\" width=\"640\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">Five tornadoes were confirmed so  far from this event.&nbsp; The northern most supercell produced three  tornadoes, two of which were long-tracked. The first touchdown was near  New Melle and was rated EF1, the second was a long-track tornado that  was rated EF4 and affected St. Louis and Madison Counties as well as the  extreme northern tip of St. Louis City, and the third was a long-track  EF2 tornado that affected Madison, Clinton, and Bond Counties. The  southern supercell produced two short-track tornadoes. The first was  rated EF2 in Monroe County and the second was rated EF1 in St. Clair  County.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\">The EF4 tornado is the strongest  tornado that has occurred in St. Louis County for 44 years.&nbsp; You have to  go back to January 24,1967 to find a tornado that was as strong.

(AP) &mdash; The St. Louis area&#8217;s most powerful tornado in 44  years rips into an airport and through a densely populated suburban  area, destroying up to 100 homes, shattering hundreds of panes of glass  at the main terminal and blowing a shuttle bus on top of a roof. Yet no  one is killed, or even seriously hurt, and the airport reopens less than  24 hours later. How?<\/p>\n<p \/>  Early warnings, good timing and common sense all helped prevent a  tragedy Friday night. But on Easter Sunday, many of those cleaning up  the mess also thanked a higher power.<\/p>\n<p \/>  &#8220;I don&#8217;t know why God decided to spare our lives but I&#8217;m thankful for  it,&#8221; Joni Bellinger, children&#8217;s minister at hard-hit Ferguson Christian  Church, said Sunday.<\/p>\n<p \/>  Lambert Airport reopened for arriving flights Saturday night, and  departing flights began Sunday morning. Still, dozens of flights have  been canceled, the airport&#8217;s Concourse C is still closed and complete  repairs could take up to two months.<\/p>\n<p \/>  The tornado peaked at an EF-4 level, second-highest on the Enhanced  Fujita scale, packing winds of up to 200 mph, National Weather Service  meteorologist Wes Browning said. It was the most powerful twister in  metropolitan St. Louis since 1967 &mdash; and eerily, it followed a path  similar to that of the earlier tornado<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; line-height: 150%;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/i_survived_tornado_missouri_speckcase-176562290696737079?gl=UTeezSF&amp;rf=238346027810244797\"><img src=\"http:\/\/rlv.zcache.com\/i_survived_tornado_missouri_speckcase-p176562290696737079vud3q_325.jpg\" alt=\"I Survived Tornado Missouri speckcase\" style=\"border: 0;\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/i_survived_tornado_missouri_speckcase-176562290696737079?gl=UTeezSF&amp;rf=238346027810244797\">I Survived Tornado Missouri<\/a> by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/uteezsf*?rf=238346027810244797\">UTeezSF<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.zazzle.com\/tornadoes+gifts?rf=238346027810244797\">MORE Tornado T-shirts and Gear<br \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size: 10px;\">  <a href=\"http:\/\/posterous.com\">Posted via email<\/a>   from <a href=\"http:\/\/zazzle.posterous.com\/51033401\">The Best of Zazzle<\/a>  <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p align=\"left\"><a class=\"tt\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home\/?status=Missouri+Tornadoes+and+tornado+shirts+at+Zazzle+\" title=\"Post to Twitter\"><img class=\"nothumb\" src=\"http:\/\/cafeshoppe.com\/TeeHee\/wp-content\/plugins\/tweet-this\/icons\/tt-twitter-big1.png\" alt=\"[Post to Twitter]\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"tt\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/home\/?status=Missouri+Tornadoes+and+tornado+shirts+at+Zazzle+\" title=\"Post to Twitter\">Tweet This Post<\/a>&nbsp; <!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Storm Chasers and Tornado buffs will love these I survived Tornado Missouri shirts, and gifts. &nbsp; I Survived Tornado Missouri by UTeezSFBrowse other Tornado Mugs ST.
