We were very lucky last night. Two massive fronts collided, one cold, one warm. Wind speeds up to to 60 mph produced many tornadoes. The closest was 10 miles south of me. Further south a F5 tornado on the ground for 250 miles produced horrible destruction and so far 50 deaths. Edwardsville Illinois was hit hard but Kentucky suffered the most damage. Temps today in the mid 30s but still dealing with 30-40 mph winds.

It was reported storm debris as high as 35,000 feet (7 miles) high.

Next week on Thursday it is supposed to be 70 degrees. Climate change is real.

Glad you are safe. Keep the emergency supplies handy and you won't need them. Climate change is obvious to everyone with a few brain cells except those with something to loose if we change our habits.

The main thing Terry is that you are safe and sound.

Sadly people underestimate the sheer power and damage that weather can do, treat it with respect and you should be ok.

I wish you well

Gary
