Okay so the nursing home was evacuated. Homes damaged, trees down, roads closed etc... but NO INJURIES here. Southwest of here a little, there was a barn that went missing, and a dog kennel...the dog was found later, poor thing. That must have happened before it came our way, as that was the trajectory. Illinois had a deadly tornado. Someone was killed. Very sad news. I hate tornadoes. We don't have cellars here, they will leak. If I get to move out in the country one day, I am going to have one that is waterproof put in, if at all possible...It doesn't have to be big.
I guess they were working on downed power lines, and cut my power later on last night. It didn't flicker, so I think it was cut off on purpose. I went to bed, then I heard the power come back on. So it was a short time off.
