Had crazy high winds in SW MI last night but thankfully no trees came down at our house, although I did see many trees with big brances down on my way to work. We've been without power since 5 pm yesterday, and they're saying it could be 2-3 days before power is back on. Thank goodness for whole-house generators. The best investment we ever made in this house! Prayers go out to all those in tornado areas. That was terrifying.

Because it's mid-way to the "west".

My DD was traveling back to FT Wayne IN - we were getting reports from friends in Indy that the storms were getting bad - we were lucky that she was close to our friends house in Perrysburg OH where she stayed and rode out the storm - two tornadoes within a mile of their house! We were blessed that they were home so she was able to seek shelter!

tornadoes touched down within 10 or so miles from us. We only got super high winds that took down our hay tent and ripped a door off of one of our buildings. Power was out but only for a few hours. We were very lucky.

We had the high winds and rain here and lost electricity last night at 11:30 and may not have it back on till late night wed. but we do have a generator going at night. There was some surrounding areas hit a lot harder. I just hope and pray everybody is okay.

Not sure if anyone posted this heartwarming story about the tornado in Washington, IL.
