Default Harrisburg Illinois Tornado

I'm sure that everyone has heard, but, if not, Harrisburg Illinois was hit very hard by a Tornado about 5 AM this morning. At least 7 people have been killed, over 100 injured, 250-300 homes damaged or destoryed and 40 businesses destoryed. Originally, I'm from just 9 miles away but moved off many years ago. I still have many relatives there, who all survived unharmed Thank God, and we have several forum members there, near there, of from there such as Flatlander and Beerdoodle and more. Everyone there could sure use some prayers right now.

That,s why I moved to Michigan. First touch down was right besides ex-wifes house. She is ok but all freaked out,so basically she is normal. Very sad for the loss of life.
