Storms took out my power this morning. I drove around and looked at the damage…. it was quite extensive. I figured it would be days before power came back, but it was restored a little while ago. My neighborhood saw little actual damage, but just a block away big trees were yanked out at the roots. The derecho a a few years ago did not do this sort of damage, so I wonder if small tornadoes came through.

Too Bad. Have to checkup on some friends in the area. Used to live across the river from Quincy IL.
That’s actually a lesser known tornado hotspot. On August 28, 1990 an EF-5 hit Plainfield and Joliet. I miss Skilling-the best weatherman up there. He had the best graphics,
We moved from The Hannibal MO area to Spokane WA and the weather here is lame and the weather service is DULLLLLLLLL.
Spokane might have dull weather, but you’ve always got Mt. Ranier going FOOOOOM to look forward to. Wind’s right, you might get enough ash to crush a building. And that’s nice.
