Any regular reader knows that Elaine and I live in downstate Illinois, where we had harrowing weather last night. This post is just to say that we are fine.
When we heard the tornado warning on our phones, we brought our electronics and musical instruments downstairs (as we have done many times) and watched the weather on local television for about two hours. We had strong wind and rain, but the closest tornado (quite close) bypassed our town, or nearly all of it. Other places were not nearly so lucky.
And now I am waiting for a news source to post some “How to help” links.

Glad to hear all is well.
Thanks, Jim.
I'm vague on your specific geography - I looked at the maps and wondered, and then thought you were farther from all of it. Very glad to hear that is true (enough), but how terrible. Glad you got the warnings, though, even if you didn't "need" them.
Just think of downstate as everything south of Chicago. It’s all the same. : )
I just realized that though we had alerts on our phones, we never heard a siren, which I assume means that there was never any immediate danger. But it was still scary enough.
