Yeah, most of my family lives within an hour's drive from there.  Havent been able to get ahold of anyone yet to make sure they are ok, but I havent heard any bad reports out of Illinois yet.

IL we didnt have anything severe except some winds that put the storm at severe level. I was just in that area last november, pretty scary.

Did they figure out the F rating yet? Interested to see how strong it was. I live in Cincinnati OH and we had some bad storms here. I slept right through it all though lol.
