No sleep here last night, but only lost power, no damage. The one that hit Illinois was an EF4, and I am guessing the one that hit Branson, Mo. was close to that. Going to be a busy spring!  :uhoh

Seems like Tornado Alley has shifted East the last few years.  :noid

Harrisburg is about 50 miles south of here. Sad to see that happened, cant believe one that strong hit in this part of the state, they are rare out here

They got it the worst in Harrisburg, Illinois for sure! The local coverage of the damage I saw was amazing and sad. Too much like Joplin, Mo. last year.  :frown:


Keep your head down Meatwad, long way to go yet.

It is 3 months shy of the Marion, IL tornado back in 1982 that killed 10 people.  That one was an F4 tornado. Marion and Harrisburg are about 20 miles apart, Harrisburg being directly east of marion on Hwy 13.

Freaky weather  :(

Unless po'd means something else these days, you're saying that you're pissed off a powerful tornado spawning storm missed you by 30 miles?

That's what we've been saying in West TN for the last decade.  Every tornado that goes across Arkansas or southern MO finds its way through Tennessee.
