Morning. Just popping in. Been busy as didn’t get up till a bit past 7:30. Had protein shake, put couple jackets in washer, then got online to see what latest was in the downstate tornadoes.

Did that this morning, couldn’t get through. She called me bit later. Cell phones were out as is power, cable, I pnternet etc. She has gas generator. Said she and son are okay, tornado came within less than quarter mile from house. They were in basement. Heard it go by. Came up, checked outside and everything was fine at her house. 5 minutes later, got another warning and back to basement.
