Reports keep coming in...

Entire buildings collapsed. Homes, shopping centers.
Pier One (which thank the Lord) has been vacant for a while - all four walls down..
Baxter YMCA - whole front of building is gone...
Fire department - whole back wall gone..
Apartments - roofs gone...
Power lines down - early estimates say at least 25,000 without power (expected to climb)
Morgan County (Martinsville) has asked for federal assistance. SR37 closed. Newspeople can't even get there yet.

Looks like a big F2 or small F3 according to the weather guys.

This is a real mess.

Uh oh - sounds bad. Hope no one got hurt or killed.

A tornado hit Ladysmith WI on Labor Day. Big damage, no injuries or fatalities.
If it had been a workday, though...
