Hope everyone is safe!

I'm in Lebanon, IN (you'll likely see pics of the remains of the local Starbucks with a car sitting on its side). The car is my son's girlfriend's.

I slept through the entire tornado. (I work nights and didn't get home from work until 8:30 this morning)

No injuries here, but a LOT of damage.

Omg thats crazy about yr sons gf car. Hope everyone is safe there. Lol I worked nights for years and slept through everything to.

Isn't that normal Ohio weather? :floorlaugh:

We are in Central Ohio and the winds just started picking up.

 

[musicaljoke]

The winds are strong here, lightning, and black as tar outside. We are under a tornado warning too, unusual for our area.

 

[mikkismom]

Seems to be over with here. Probably a lot of power outages out there. Prayers for those in this storm tonight.

 

[mysteriew]

I'm back, it didn't get bad. Has Nursebeeme and Only4justice and the others checked in?

 

[tlcya]

this has been an ugly day in the central states.

Some links to photos of damages form the storms and tornado touchdowns from IL.

We're hanging in here, but the wind is so wicked, still. Praying for those hit by the twisters, in Jesus' Holy Name, amen!

 

[LookingHoping]

The photos I'm seeing here and in my newsfeed on FB are quite shocking, especially for mid November. Praying for all involved and hoping WS members will all check in.

 

[Herding Cats]

Nurse, dear, please let someone know that you're all right...and that goes for all our "missing" members...please let someone know that you are all right, or, if not, what we can do to help.

I'll keep you all in my prayers until we hear from you...

Best-
Herding Cats

My cousin and his wife live in Washington, IL. They were in church when everything happened. I kept up with them on FB throughout the day. Their house is still standing, but a block or two away the neighborhoods are just flattened. No power, and they are under a boil water order, among other things. Many of their friends lost their homes, businesses. But they are alive. The videos they were posting and sharing are just terrifying. I live in the Atlanta area, so we have rough weather, usually in the spring, but nothing like this. These are very strong people, very community and family oriented, and they started pulling together yesterday to start helping each other recover.

Wanted to share this link that my cousin's wife put up last night. People are posting items that they are finding from the storms/tornadoes, hoping to get these items back to their owners.
