We are thankful no one was seriously hurt. prayers

Thank God you guys are alright, was there a lot of damage besides the orchard? I heard weather this while is prefect for tornados, warm air rising with cool air moving across making winds turn

Helping the world one seed at a time

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

We were blessed not to suffer any damage...You are soo right better property than lives...5 people were injured...no deaths thankfully. prayers
About 5 other properties were damaged. They just reported it was an F3 (150+ winds) and a 15 mile path... boohoo
I can't ever remember in my short:) 37 years here in Northern IL that a tornado ever touched down here in January! why

Very strange indeed a record that long and never a touch down In January alone seems less than 1% chance of that happening,, Was there any warnings?? That is a BIG concern here,, suddenly they develope and look out!! yikes
Northern KY is in a tornado watch right now ,, and we also have members in that Area,, so Dobbler Radar is being watched,, Bad thing about tornados they have a mind of their own and can take a turn for another direction without warning,, nervous

Belinda shock Be safe!!!!! GIRLLLLL driving out in that weather!! tapfoot kissie

Rachel Be safe tonight! prayers kissie
