Several tornadoes went through our portion of east-central Illinois last night. Our household got off easy: we brought our devices and instruments downstairs, and when we lost power, we listened to local weather on a transistor radio (bought for just that reason) and read David Copperfield on screens. By ten or so, the storm had passed.
This morning I saw that we lost one small branch from one tree. Elsewhere in town, many households were not nearly so fortunate.

i have a headlamp from fenix that i find comes in handy in storms. and yes, a transistor radio also (sony all transistor solid state). we had a horrible storm on jun 8th including 100 mph winds. the local utility had to replace over 500 utility polies (200 in one city). glad to hear you all didn't have much damage. this summer has been one horrible storm after another.

What a nightmare. Our shared climate doing us in.
