crusty 1 am hoping that you make it thru unscathed and the storms miss you and yours, hang in there property is not important, loved one are.

Thanks everyone for your support and well wishes. We are fine, a little tired but we had to clean up the danger spots, downed trees propped up on other trees, the widow makers and access for us and any emergency service we may need. We are now slowing down and prioritizing what we need to do right away and what can wait.
The tornado traveled from SW to NE and really wrecked several homes and farms. We (the neighbors and I) have been helping each other out when we can. We are doing fine but the land will never be the same as it was, the twister really changed the landscape where it traveled. This is our second tornado that touched down and caused damage.

There were multiple twisters that set down in my county. No injuries or deaths, but the all the gas stations raised the price of fuel 30 cents instantly. So people needing fuel for generators, tractors, chainsaws and vehicles had to pay the higher prices, talk about greed and profiting from a disaster.

Thanks again everyone!

I just saw your post for the 1st time tonight. I am glad to hear you are ok. Are you in the Peoria area? My B-I-L was passing thru Elmwood the other evening and saw a tornado on the ground. He was on his way to Iowa. He said it scared him to death. We have been real luckey this year with bad weather in this part of Illinois. We did take a lighting hit last Sunday. Knocked out our Dish and our phone. Bad part was we switched form Direct tv to Dish on Friday and Dish was back out on Monday replacing it all.

Glad you are ok. Sorry to hear about the damage. Surely the odds are in your favor now not to get hit again!

Been away from the computer, just now saw these replies. We are in S. E Illinois about 45 miles S.W. of Terre Haute, IN. It could have been a lot worse if it had not lifted.
