Well, with all the rain the past week and the rumored F1 Tornado it still seems that we will not end out really bad but bad enough for some. Right across the street a tree took out my neighbors garage corner and his sons car. The other neighbor right next to him had half of a tree fall on their fence and take that out. I got lucky with no damage at all. With over 8 inches of rain this week we are flooded too! In one day we had 4 1/4 inches of rain. Here are some pictures that my mother took around my house!
Dang, you got hit pretty hard up there. Where was this? I know they confirmed an EF0 tornado near Mazon. Unfortunately we have another deluge of rain coming yet again tonight through Saturday.

While we aren't getting the severe storms you guys are getting... this rain is starting to get old. Rains two days, takes twos days to dry out and we seed for two days only to get rain out again. We should be done seeding by now and are only half done. We have lost 1/3 off each field to water or just too wet to plant. I have been stuck 5 times now with the planter trying to mud things in just so we are getting something done as it is starting to get late. Crazy year and only seeming to get worse. Glad we aren't dealing with your weather though !! Glad to hear you haven't had any damage to your place. Tim
Sheesh glad you are all ok and you managed to get lucky with no damage. Gettin pounded here today as well
