We're ok so far here in Marion, Jerry but Bill Gardner had a possible tornado hit his graphics shop in Greencastle. Took half the shop right down to the cement floor.:thumbsdown:

Here in Vermillion County we have had numerous trees blown over with power outages. I am the dispatcher here at the Sheriff's Dept. and I just now have been able to catch my breath. Also glad to report no injuries or major damage.

Bill, anything we can do. Let us know
Thanks Jerry for caring

Is Bill ok? We had some straight line winds, hail and a lot of rain. The wind was the strongest I have seen in a long time. If there is any news on Bill let us know.

A tornado that touched down in Clermont came within a 1/4 mile of my house. It hit McGilverys during Don Kay's show blowing out a window, blew the dish off their roof and damaged cars in the parking lot. The show resumed after everyone cleaned out their shorts

No one was hurt. That should be a good archive to watch once it gets up on the website. Shingles from the funeral home across the street were everywhere.

Rain changing over to snow as I type this here in Anderson. Wind is howling and temperature is dropping. It looks like the worst is over here in Central Indiana. I hope Bill is okay!

West Central Illinois came through okay. The area south of Interstate 72 got hit. Funnel Cloud near Pleasant Plains, and one near Flora. Lots os tree and hail reports.

Temp dropped 44 degree in 6 hours in Peoria, amazingly no sever weather there.

At one point the barometric pressure was as low as 29.17 inches in Peoria. That is extremely low for a land based storm system. Luckily this thing came through in the winter and not the summer or we would have had a hell of a storm in the Eastern US.

This is bad enough as it is now.

Bill is fine, Jerry. The tornado or straightline wind, whatever, leveled about half the shop he said.
