Glad to hear you and your wife are safe Scott! Glad to hear you didn't have too much damage either.
We were traveling on our way home from Sauk Rapids, MN from seeing my daughters when all this was going on.
We were on interstate 57 outside of St. Louis and we had to get off interstate and find hotel, couldn't even see to drive. We stopped in town of Marion, IL, close to I24 and Kentucky border. Not long after checked into hotel and got something to eat, tornado sirens started going off (on and off for 2 hours), I was scared too death. Thankfully all was ok.
We saw lots of flooding along the way from IL, KY, and TN.
There was a lot of damage in Florence where we live, but luckily, all was ok at our house after being gone for 9 days!
Was a lot of devistation around, I hope the weather gets better. I feel for the people that lost their homes, businesses, etc.
