Talking to several sYc members this morning through out central Il and it sounds like they got the a$$es kicked! The major of Springfield, IL stated that not a square inch of the area is left unscathed and there is substantial damage. All goverment workers are advised to stay home and most roads leading into Springfield are closed. So far I have checked in on Cumby's, Hartweg, Wright's and a couple of others. Don't know about Don and Judy Stowers but I know they were in the thick of things. Cumby has also been checking on several people to make sure all are ok. Power outages through out the city. Sounds like Missouri got it very bad as well as sone other states. Hope all the members are ok. Check in when you can.

Thanks for the update Rick. I was thinking about them this morning. Hope to hear from them soon.

Anyone that hears anything from any of the midwest members let us know of their wellbeing as a majority of them are without power and cannot reply online anyway.

We went through back to back tornado warnings yesterday, and escaped any damage. At six pm I thought I had missed it all, 30 minutes later, one last golf ball hail storm came through and got my 05' truck. My garage was too full of musclecars, to get the truck in.

All our friends in the corn and wheat belt doing ok this morning?

Yea, what Sam says...has everyone been heard from in the areas that were affected?

Can't speak for everyone in the area but here's what I know so far.

Just talked with Ray Morrison down in Tom and Rob's area. They're all fine and had little or no damage. Talked with Annie last night and, aside from suffering a bout with vertigo (non storm related), she's good too. Lots of power outages around her area but she has power and had no damage.
I heard from Bob Lionberger in LaHarpe, and Ray had spoken with Helen. Sounds like everyone there is OK.
We had some major damage immediately North of town but nothing where we are. We lost power Sunday evening and the initial forecast was that we might be down for two days. The crews did a great job under terrible conditions and we had service back in about 6 hours. A couple of smaller communities around us took a hit and were still without power last night. No school Monday because of the storm but they're back in session today.
Springfield, IL took a hard hit. Three major blows in about three hours. The worst was at the Southwest part of town and many parts of the city are still without power today. Still haven't heard from Don and Judy Stowers. Hope everything is OK with them in their new place about 10 miles South of Springfield. Haven't heard of any damage down there so hopefully Don is just busy finishing the new garage!

Anyone else have a report?

[ORIGLS6]

For those who missed Don's reply under another thread, he and Judi were in the midst of the storm but escaped in good shape. Great news!

That's good to hear!
