NWS

Sure is. You stay safe. I'm a little unnerved. Hubby is out of town on business and I'm alone with my three little boys. Yikes!

I'm in Pekin, Illinois. They are all around here but still 50 - 60 miles from me. All is calm here so far.

Call Mayor Nagin...


LOL.....we don't need no stinking buses.....but, where is FEMA...it's been 30min since the tornado struck

I doubt if this will affect Milorad Blagojevich's boyish bangs. Using so much hair spray, he's a one-man ozone threat.

Please stay safe..

Remember the rules...lowest floor, interior room, etc.

Isn't that one is so strong that it pulls your underwear up around your neck?

[DollarBill]

Thanks ConservativeBabe. All is quiet for the moment, although it looks like they are in for a long night with more to come. I'll be watching the skies shortly... I am in the far NW suburbs of Chicago and we have a tornado watch and some warnings to the south and SW of use right now.

[Graybeard58]

DUCK!

I'm more of a chicken than a duck when it comes to tornados.

[MinuteGal]

I'm much relieved. Sleep with one ear open tonight, will ya?

Been there, done that many times....I hate the midwest in the Spring...this is a common occurence here..

Hello Neighbor,

Channel 2's weather guy just said that we will (probably) get severe weather tonight, but could not predict to what level (thanks to MOguy for listening and reporting, as I am in the office, away from the TV). I am pretty sure I will not be able to sleep until this has passed, and that is probably a good idea! Stay safe out there!!

Glad to be here, MOgirl

I hope Abe Lincoln's home is ok!!!!!

Prayers up for everyone in the path.

[conservativebabe]

Thanks, I'll do my best.

Has Blagojevich ever been to Sprigfield? Does he even know where it is?

[conservativebabe]

Keep alert. Good luck to you and you stay safe too. We have more coming too. Can hardly wait~ !

[mystery-ak]

Damage reports are coming in...Gordmans lost a roof, white Hen Pantry lost a roof............another tornado on the ground in Latham......Good Lord!.....winds clocked at 100mph...

[MOgirl]

Hello,

Another neighbor, glad to meet you! We could dodge the bullet (or not), but you are right the radar looks nasty. Take Care,

Glad to be here, MOgirl

He goes down there every so often to promise people other people's money.

[conservativebabe]

Yeah. I just moved back to IL from CO about 2 months ago. I used to say, "I sure miss the midwest storms". Excellent example of being careful what you wish for going on now.
