Safe here in Wisconsin. I'm about 30 miles south of Green Bay. It's been raining since yesterday and we have wind warnings for tonight.

At least I don't have to shovel rain. LOL

Wow, I'm in north central Illinois, and we have just had lots of wind, some heavy rain, and very dark. I was shocked looking at some of the images of the destruction south of us! I have two sons at schools over in/around Chicago. One went on lockdown for a while, and they cleared the Bears stadium. My oldest said the rain was coming down sideways where he is at in the north end of the city. Meanwhile, stepdaughter and fil are in southern Illinois and they had to go in the basement and said there was a tornado in a nearby town. I'm so glad it's passing, and hope it dies down as it goes east!

Safe where I'm at, although it was very scary. The tornado touched one hour from whre I'm at, two died.

Thanks for thinking of us.

Thank you for the link. We live a little over an hour south of Washington. My husband's parents are both from the Peoria area, and he has a lot of family there. In fact, we are in charge of the family reunion and have been having it at Washington Park.

Those pictures are devastating and shocking. Still waiting to hear from his family, but his mom and sister have not reported any bad news yet. No news is usually good news when it comes to the two of them reporting it, so I'm praying this is the case right now.

My family all lives in the Springfield area. With the exception of some tree branches, we are all safe and sound.

Freaky right? I saw part of the story when visiting my parents today and the aftermath in Illinois looked awful.
