Starbucks at Markland Mall completely FLAT! Poles down and an obvious tornado path from there east thru the neighborhood. Trees snapped, billboards destroyed, lots of debris. We were asking why B.C. let it rain on his party, little did we know that he steered the tornado away from us.

We are getting some rotational in the skies in Connersville not too far from Whitewater Valley Speedway.

Stay safe everyone.

Hope everybody is Okay. That may be the first time I ever heard Kokomo mentioned on the national news. Usually that is not good.

It got kinda scary at the track when this was all going on. My wife & I and a bunch of other people ended up huddled in the cooking area inside the concession stand. At the same time, people were posting pictures of the tornado on facebook and we could look at them, knowing it wasn't far away.

A shelter is open at the Kokomo event center if anyone needs it.

Thanks, Chas. I figured something would give one way or another there.

Now, on a more serious note vice discussing future dates, let us hope all are well in Kokomo. I did not mean to sidetrack the thread.
