The big storm that hit here, last night, was confirmed as a tornado. We were lucky, and only had some branches down. About 1/2 a mile away, they have roofs off and severe damage to some homes. We lucked out, again! The ground has been so dry that it soaked up most of the rain that fell, and we didn't have the flooding they thought we'd get. Many are still without power, and crews from other states are heading here, to get it fixed. My town has, or had, 11 tornado warning sirens, but the storms came through so fast, the village never got a chance to sound them. One was not only knocked out of service, but the darn thing is missing! It seems to have blown away with the tornado! It will probably be found in a farmer's field, nearby, unless someone already picked it up to sell for scrap. LOL

Hi Jan


I am so glad you didn't get any damage in that tornado. Well I sure hope they find the siren but it will probably be sold for scrap. LOL


Now I sure hope those storms will be gone before I get back to the midwest.


Love ya
