    We had a tornado touch down 10 miles from my house. Did some pretty good damage just north of me... Too close for comfort. I hope there was no one seriously hurt...

    Lost my electric for about 5 hours but compared to others, I'm not complaining too bad.

    "According to the National Weather Service, more than 70 tornadoes were reported across the region, though that figure likely includes duplicates and should be considered preliminary.

    At least 10 states were in under severe weather alerts, as tornado watches were posted from Michigan to Arkansas. Hundreds of thousands of people were left without power, according to weather officials.

    Tornadoes tore through Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky on Sunday, part of a dangerous line of fast-moving storms that ripped through the Midwest, killing at least five people and injuring dozens of others".

    Tornadoes rip through Midwest; five dead, dozens injured

    I still remember this one from when I was young; We were going to church on a sunday morn. and drove right into this damage.

    Pretty rough day in NE Illinois. Lot's of damage to homes and property, we will get by. However, my thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the tornado that tore apart Washington, IL and other parts of central Illinois. There already are collection centers being set up throughout the northern part of the state to gather bottled water, food, clothing, and tents!to send to those affected. Please keep these people in your prayers.

    All Good where I am here in Central Indiana.
    It was a very odd storm here in Indiana- North in Kokomo got slammed
    South of me around Columbus and Bloomington got whacked
    The radar showed the most narrow band of the moisture went right over my city.

    Counting blessings for certain!
    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
