It ended up crossing the Missouri River and blasting neighborhoods in Gladstone and Liberty before lifting. Two people died in the storm. Here is a picture from the Woodland s Surveillance camera:

(Bloomberg Opinion) Warren Buffett is feeling much better since âthe economy went off a cliffâ last March. He admits he might be even happier if he had used that opportunity to invest some of the $145 billion of cash Berkshire Hathaway Inc. has been hoarding.
