Just got my power back this afternoon, Friday about 1:30pm central time, my area in So. Illinois got hit by what they are calling an "inland hurricane", with winds up to 106MPH.

We have massive damage of 3-4 counties, with over 2000 utility workers brought in to do repairs.

Been interesting, and a decent opportunity to trial run some of my emergency plans, and evaluate how well some things worked and some didn't.

We have some damage to the house, with a huge tree that uprooted in our front yard, but luckily it missed the house and barely touched my car.



Marion, and Herrin Illinois are bad, and Carbondale is REALLY bad.
