We were lucky in Indianapolis. It went south of our area. We had a very mild winter though which means the Midwest may be in for a busy spring storm season. Take care everyone.

Three dead in Ohio, southeast of Cincinnati. Southern Indiana got hit very badly. The storms stayed down around the Ohio River this time. We had very little rain or wind yesterday here in central Ohio. Puma

I'm so glad y'all are all doing well. I hate seeing all of the deaths

Thank you so much for checking in, folks - I worry pretty hard about our peeps when systems like this happen.

My sympathies and prayers for those in the midst of all this. I have several friends in the midwest who I've not heard from in a few days and I'm getting concerned. Perhaps they've just lost power or their signals are down, I don't know (or they all think I smell or something and they're avoiding me lol; apologies for the flippancy). Well wishes to everyone. Stay safe!

Glad everyone's ok; I went down to help clean up a small town just 20 miles (as the crow flies) SW of me and it's a mess....

Thank you, JMC! and could I add a roll of duct tape to the usual list? Very useful for so much.
I just got bounced out of bed by a quake. Just a reminder quake--but it reminded me. |

I'm not laughing! I am totally in favor of worst-case-scenario emergency kits. I hope everyone has one.

I thought Harveysville was Illinois or Indiana - down near the river. Puma

harveyville was a kansas town that was hit 2-29, in the same outbreak as henryville, illinois. not as much damage in harveyville but not as much town. the news said 40%of the town was destroyed. i saw the sock in the hood of a truck on the kansas news but now i can't find it in the news shots.--s5

Yes, that's the one, Six. I was at a farm just outside of town helping sort debris. I'll see if i can find a picture of that sock and message you the link.

hey, jmc. nice to meet you. clean up is what we kansans do--load the teachers and high schoolers up on the school bus and dig in.
i helped my students clean up a couple of farms after the greensburg tornado in 2007. there were grass straws blown through boards and sheets of galvanized metal wound into shelter belts like tin around a spam key. (i mean spam the mystery meat that comes in a can--not the computer stuff) but nothing as weird as the sock through the toyota hood. --s6 this is the article in the topeka paper about jmc's clean up and the sock in the toyota hood. no picture of the sock though. http://cjonline.com/news/2012-03-01/...rapped-husband |

Just checking in from tornado alley. Today has been crazy in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Multiple tornados in the area. Spent my day trooping back and forth to the tornado shelter at work, but I'm glad to have power, water and a roof on my house. Many people here aren't so lucky.

I've watched some of the videos, SoccerMom. The power of tornados is sort of incomprehensible. Glad to hear you're all right. Puma

Checking in, too. Limbs and a few small trees were downed here from the twister that just passed. More damage to the east than we experienced here in town. Still nothing out here like the devastation in and around Dallas and Ft. Worth. We're so glad to hear (so far) there are no injuries or fatalities there.
