    3 pack at Costco for $20.. I have a pair in each vehicle, 1 that stays next to the 'puter, 1 that is always in the overnight bag. And when I still fail to find some glasses when needed, there's always the camera on the phone, just zoom in a little bit...:devil:

    Just got home from driving around the neighborhood and saw alot of downed trees some of these trees fell on houses or fell on streets or roads blocking access . Lot of blown down power lines / poles also

    Some of the damage looks like it was caused by straight line winds

    The 1st step in losing a fight... underestimating your opponent!

    Does anyone have any advice/tips for a 1st time cake baker? I've decided to attempt to bake a cake for the 1st time. ever. Betty Crocker mix, pre-made icing.

    A back step for when I get older, Carhartt seatcovers, 4Runner wheels, Topper, and "tats all folks"! --for now!!
    Last night this bad weather seemed to "form" just over central and western Mo. this storm was one of the fastest moving/forming severe weather systems I have seen. They turned our warning systems on and off twice. We went to our basement, and as quick as I got a weather (TV) station up, the conditions had changed to/from a Severe T-storm warning to all clear. After that I saw the storm line heading south toward the bootheel of MO (the one shown on the drone shots above), and the grouping of storms heading east about to slam St Louis area. My only hope was - God I hope it moves on and over them like it did here -sadly It DID NOT. There is terrible destruction in Mayfield KY. Mayfield is just across the Mississippi river from Sikeston MO. I hope those folks got to safe shelter in time!!??

    ok, this is helpful. Apparently I need a pan to do this... Does 1 box do 1 layer? I'm thinking a double layer, Devils' Food chocolate cake with dark fudge icing. I need to buy a pan, or 2 if they're cheap enough.

    As me being the household cake maker I have experience.
    Yes 1 box will make a 2 layer round cake.
    Follow the directions and you'll be fine.
    Use the toothpick method to see if its done.
    With the frosting, it spreads easier if you soften it using the microwave, just a few seconds. Don't forget to remove the foil cover.
    Spray your pans with cooking spray.

    I read where they believe it stayed on the ground for something like 227 miles. Longer then any tornado in history...

    If you want simple just do a 13x9 rectangle. Any variety will do - metal or glass like Pyrex. Get fancy and get a set of 8 or 9 inch round spring form pans. One box will do one 13x9 or two rounds
    Don't forget to pre heat
    Spray the pan with Pam or the like to make sure they don't stick
    Let everything cool completely before you attempt to remove it from the pan and or frost it
    Put the icing in your mixer and whip it up to make it a bit fluffier
    Not at home right now but I have a cookbook to fancy up box mixes, you ditch the box instructions completely and it turns out so much better. I'll take a pic of a couple when I get home.

    You ever try her stuff? Turns out awesome. she has a book dedicated to the gluten free mixes too, way better than the box directions
