Actually, the tornados were all around us earlier this morning. Hit, Washington, IL pretty hard as well as two or three other towns in the area. One was sighted about three miles from us. Not by me...I was in the basement.

Glad to hear everyone is OK!!! We get a few of them tornadoes up here but most of the time they don't do a lot of damage do to our sparse population up here.

Yup! Sure was windy last night! We're fine but north of us there was a few power outages and a couple of downed trees, one of which hit someone's house...

I live right on the IL/IN Boarder at the south end of the lake. Watched my garbage can take a 20 mph slide down the alley, raining sideways, flooded the driveway and yard (little bit of seepage into the basement) and power out from 12:00 PM till 8:00 PM.

 

The area had the typical down trees but as a whole the Chicagoland area fared pretty well.

We just had strong winds and heavy rain. Power was out for a few minutes. Nothing like the people northwest of us. We were very lucky. Prayers for the victims.

High winds here in Woodstock & Ingersoll Ont. Have to replace back fence now. Est. $2400 for 6` high by 65` long

Finding pictures and effects from Washington 30 miles away. Pages are up to recover and reunite people with their possessions. I drove home from deer camp and we were between cells it was eerie. Semi trucks tossed on their sides, every lighted construction sign thrown from their spots, one was a good 50 yards from the roadway.

 

Thoughts and prayers to our neighbors south west.

Dynodon hasn't been on the forum for several weeks. Hopefully he's just too busy helping his neighbors right now to worry about the internet.

I was wondering the same thing, so I PMed Rick Haywood with the question. His response was that he had not talked to Don lately, but that Don lives a mile from the tornado path and would not have suffered any damage.
