This is one reason why I HATE the midwest!

The weather here is nuts all year long. Either your suffocating, freezing, or being blown away by storms. Two days straight worth of spring madness already.

That sucks. I can't imagine what it would be like if I lost my home in that mess...

Yeah... I was on VATSIM for the FNO STL ops and as I was on short final, runway "made" the METAR updated to:

KSTL 230112Z 29029G42KT 1SM R30R/2800VP6000FT +FC -TSRA BKN020 OVC040CB 22/19 RMK TORNADO B10 W MOV E AO2 PK WND 29042/0112 CONS LTGICCGCC ALQDS TS ALQDS MOV E P0001

FML... Runway disappeared all of a sudden and I had wind-shear like a mother, all while in a King Air 350 (woulda been nicer in a Saab 340 or a CRJ-200, but...)
