WOW! We've had a number of these storms in our area, the worst here was Plainfield in 1990, an F5 and Utica in 2004, an F3. Actually experienced 3 . . . in Chicago, Glen Ellyn, and here in Bolingbrook. Despite all the raunchy behavior you keep hearing in the news, it is times like these that you see the good come out of people, as everyone pitches in to help relieve the victims

Glad to hear that you guys on the forum are safe. Our prayers and support goes out the all those affected!

So far, there has been about $1,040,000 in donations for the victims. Not to mention all of the water and other things that people are donating. Massive help with this one. Sadly, there are still about 40 people still missing and presumed to still be in the school that took a direct hit.

Our thoughts go out to you all in this time of need, and hope that Indiana dont get badly hit tonight, have coleagues out there and they have been told of bad storms and are prepareing for a rough night.

Got storms building over the area again this morning. No tornadoes probably this time, but it's going to hamper the search and cleanup efforts.

The death toll has went down. Not sure how that happens lmao. I'm guessing confusion.

 

[Whirlybird]

In this situation, confusion is a good thing

Not heard about this until now, with all the travelling. Glad you guys are all ok.

Hopefully no members here were hurt, buildings can be rebuilt.
I'm glad to see the known Oklahoma people here letting us know they are ok.
Sorry to hear of anyone suffering loss from this massive tornado, or tornadoes
