Big Storm in St. Charles, St. Louis, and Jefferson Counties On the Weekend
You may be a fan of the Scorpions’ song "Rock You Like a Hurricane,” but that doesn’t mean you have to enjoy hurricanes!
Storms, heavy rain or any type of harsh weather can leave an awful lot of destruction in their wake, from broken tree branches to flooded streets to damaged roofs and gutters.
We always keep our eyes on weather reports from NOAA ("National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration"), an agency that supplies daily weather forecasts and storm warnings from their scientists so that city planners and regular Joes like you and me know exactly what’s going on.
According to NOAA, here are the cities in St. Charles, St. Louis, and Jefferson counties that were affected by the storms late last week as well as over the weekend:
