Edited to add radar image.
The radar image above is from the St. Louis area NWS radar at 2012 UTC yesterday afternoon. The radar loop shows that a large, supercell thunderstorm developed to the northwest of St. Louis and then moved toward the southeast, directly across the metro area.
Severe thunderstorms moved through the St. Louis metro area and the East side during late afternoon yesterday (Saturday April 28th). Storms produced both large hail (above is from near Collinsville, on the East side, and below is from St. Louis suburbs) and strong winds. They weren't storm ready at Kilroy's Tavern near Bush Stadium downtown. A temporary tent blew down while filled with a noisy, post-game crowd who didn't even hear the storm coming, according to morning media reports today. One person was killed and 120 were injured. Last August the collapse of a temporary stage, during a severe thunderstorm, at the Indiana State Fair made national news.
