Stay safe! Did any of the area just to the east of Springfield get hit very hard?
East of Springfield didn't get hit hard by the tornado, but towns like Riverton and Rochester are having a devil of a time with Ameren/Cilco getting their power restored - its a cold night here, and that company plain stinks for service (snowstorm in Nov. knocked folks with that company out for 48 hours without power).
But mostly it was the dense southwest shopping district in Springfield that got torn up.
