Exhibit 21 was a copy of meteorological records of wind speeds for St. Louis for May 21, 1993. Landlord contends that the weather records were essential in order to impeach tenant’s credibility. Tenant, however, did not directly testify that the ceiling collapse was caused by high winds. Furthermore, the records contained data compiled at a St. Louis weather station. Although Fen-ton, Missouri is located near St. Louis, the wind speed data contained in the weather records would not necessarily reflect the wind conditions at Fenton. Even if the trial court had erred in refusing to admit the weather records, we conclude the exclusion of the records did not materially affect the merits of the action. Point denied.
