So today was probably the worst weather I've ever experienced in Central Illinois. I think the final count ended up being over 15 confirmed tornadoes. Regardless it was pretty freaky. Mainly because there was a tornado headed for the city, which rarely happens, and it could have been absolutely devastating. Eventually it died out before it got here, but still freaky. I think it all culminated when we saw a funnel cloud to the north, it was huge and too close for comfort, but we stayed outside and watched it, it was awesome to see the power of nature first hand. Anyway, it all turned out fine for my family, although several families lost their homes in Elmwood. Hopefully there were no deaths, but we'll find out more tomorrow.
