More Storms in the Midwest
Well, we knew it was comin. When the temps go from 12° to 72° in just a couple of days you know you're gonna have trouble. Severe storms and tornadoes all the way from Oklahoma through Springfield, MO up to Kenosha.
I drove home in the worst rain and wind I've seen in years. No damage at home but I'm hearing bad reports from the Springfield, MO and Boone County, IL areas. How about some reports from you guys in those areas. Let us know everyone's OK.

Re: More Storms in the Midwest
We were a couple of miles from the Damage....But...another member here ...Gary...(Gwawa) had the building behind his house lose it's roof and a Garage across the sreet from him is gone, Gary seems to have gotten away without any Damage (His Generator is getting a workout though) but the rest of the houses on his street did not come out so well......Lots of Damage.....TV Crews are there filming the Damage along with Helicopters filming from the Air......Tornado went right thru and skipped his house and Garage full of Cars........Waiting for the News to come on and see the damage as the Neighborhood is Blocked off............

Re: More Storms in the Midwest
Keep us posted. Hope everyone is OK. I saw Ray Morrison was on a few minutes ago so I'll assume he's good. How about you other guys in Southern Missouri?
Still some lightning and rumbling here so it looks like there's more to come.

Re: More Storms in the Midwest
Glad your safe Ken.
Around mid day they showed a Tornado touched down in Poplar Grove,Il.and was then making it's way Northeast to Kenosha Co. I kept thinking,"what of the Mars Cheese Factory?". They kept saying,"if you live in Kenosha,you'll soon wish you didn't".
