My work vans were tossed towards the storm. You figure it out.

Those pics are incredible. Great photography; especially the mini van and the big boy head.

Mother Nature sure can show her strength. Glad no one was killed (and the Cig is OK).

Wow! Sure glad to hear that no one died. Incredible damage.
My sister landed in Champane just as tornado warnings were anounced.She was a little nervous.

What's funny is we hear nothing on Chicago news about your storms anymore. Only the huge 1" of snow last night.

Andy, you people oughta consider yourselves real lucky that noone was killed or seriously hurt. I never imagined that the damage was so severe. Holy $hit Batman !!! The news up here barely mentioned any damage.

Just unbelievable, especially that tree upside down into that minivan.

Hate to see the Barrelhead in that condition, pretty amazing that there were very few injuries.

Don't have pics, but out in our neighborhood there were alot of grain bins, cell towers, and machine sheds were destroyed. A couple of houses had alot of damage also.
