Was without power for an hour and my neighbors (2 houses away) gas grill is on my patio. But all appears to be fine....so far. It's still blowing pretty good though.

Looking for Agar to come on the board and give a report on Brazil. I'm in Florida for the winter. We had tornadoes and strong winds here about 10 days ago. Last year in January a tornado came through this area of Florida and killed some 14 people about 25 miles away.

Jerry,
County was chasing some rotation in the clouds around Russiaville (sp), but I think we just got an big blast of wind in town. Most of the bad stuff died out over Howard County for some reason (Thankfully). THat radar image covering the entire state look pretty bad. Then came the cold and froze all the roads over. It took me 35 minutes to get from the station to Family Video on Southway and then back home out on Old Sycamore. Usually would take 15 min tops. THis wind is crazy strong!!

Wish Bill the best in recovering from the damage.

I'm sitting here in Clinton, IA in the middle what was supposed to be blizzard like conditions. However back home in Olney, IL sounded like many trees and power lines down. That's all I know at this point. Heard report of a possible tornado near Newton, IL as well.

the storm destroyed half of our sign & graphics shop. Our shop is located at Brian Hayden's home just northeast of Greencastle... Brian told me... it was a tornado. Trees with roots and all were sucked right out of the ground. It is something you really got to see in person... Pictures don't do it justice.

Thankfully everyone is ok... there is just building damage.

Here are some photos of our shop... Our shop is the grey building.

The Slab of concrete that is left... This slab of concrete is 50 ft. x 50 ft.

I heard that a billboard fell on a gas station in Terre Haute, IN. Here on the far east side of Indy we didn't have much damage, it may have lsot some strength by the time it reached here. Waiting for round two tomorrow. Sounds like we may have more ice & sleet here instead of snow.
