Tornados in Indiana too..... missed me and I think they missed Bill Blue also. Nothing to mess with; I know, as my house was hit by one 4 years ago.
I have been watching the news and thinking about our members in the affected areas. I am happy to know that the news is all good, at least so far.

Eric,
I called Ian this evening and he said there was also one that hit about 1/2 mile south of him. He said there was damage fairly close to where Jan lives. I called and left a message for Doug Jennings and he called back. He lives on Wilmington Pike which is south east of Dayton and he said they didn't get any rain.

The tornado was characterized as an EF-3 and had a path of about 30+ miles. It's path paralleled about 3-4 miles south of the I-70 corridor and moving south-east toward Yellow Springs OH.
I watched it from my house (it was about 3-4 miles north of me) and it was quite a light show, with continuous lightning and thunder. It hit everything in the path pretty hard. I then was listening to the ham radio storm watchers calling in their damage reports, hail, funnels and so on. I was shocked when I heard those damage reports coming in. Total loss of property, but everyone here is pitching in to help. This is right up there with the Xenia tornado of 1974, but without the loss of life. Just one fatality, which is just a miracle.
The TV & radio media people did a GREAT job warning us and they say that is what saved lives here!!!
