I was going to make a crack about it being a slow news day when CNN covers stuff happening in Indiana….but thought better of it when I heard of how devastating the storms were–

They aren’t exaggerating when they say the storms passed very quickly.  Five minutes total.  The winds were ferocious–and a family member heard the dreaded “freight train” sound associated with tornadoes.  We were in the bathrooms for the worst of it, and then came out to see it after the worst had passed.  A chair was blown into the yard and lawn furniture tossed around, but other than that, we sustained minimal damage.

They say that three are dead in Illinois and Peoria took a big hit. Kokomo, Indiana is in a state of emergency.

My family is okay, though.  Blessings to those who suffered a loss.
