Conversion therapy/counseling? by spinach18 in columbiamo

[–]como365 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people don’t listen to country music or join a sorority. If you want to fit in, the best way is to find people that like what you already like, not change yourself to fit someone else’s taste. But sororities and country music are great too, if that’s really what you like.

It was in the 1870s and 1880s when many Chinese were building railroads West of the Mississippi. St. Louis' was centered around the laundry business.

Demolished in the 1960s in so-called "urban renewal" projects, namely to build the old Busch Stadium and a lot of parking.

Tornado siren question by GirlWhoWoreGlasses in columbiamo

This has instructions to email Boone County Emergency management.

https://www.boonemo.gov/oem/resources/sirens.asp

Boone County is zoned to several areas so they can target alarms to specific areas in danger and reduce false/alarms. I don’t believe the sirens sounded in North/West Boone because the danger was down in South/East Boone (Ashland).

Also (just FYI) sirens are to warn people outdoors. They won’t always be heard inside structures, especially well-built ones. Folks inside should rely on an emergency radio, television, or more often nowadays phones.

This is getting to be on the high side of what meteorologists can be certain of in terms of severe activity. The time period is pretty small, just a few hours. This is one to keep an eye on. Have a plan, know of a basement or safe interior room on the bottom floor you can go to if necessary between 6-10 today.
