Member mg357 - hoping you are safe!
National news shows a terrible tornado destroyed good part of Washington, Illinois this weekend.
Hoping you, your family and friends are safe and well.
*Thoughts to all Members in the Midwest that dealt with these storms

I had the same thoughts this morning, wondering if he was all right. They got hit pretty hard.
We spoke with a Sister-in-law in Peoria, IL, at 5 PM Mon. (which is about 20+ miles from Washington) and she has a nephew that lived in Washington. Town of 15,000, about 25+% of the town leveled. All communications out. Gas leaks caused any remaining to be evacuated. I believe they may be back in now. It is unknown how soon there may be power restored to the remaining homes. FEEMA and Red Cross are both already there. Lots of devastation.

Been praying for him everyday in his battle with the cancer and the side effects of the chemo. Adding prayers now for him (and his family) being safe after that terrible storm.

Man some of your neighbors were really hit hard Matthew. I'm happy to hear you guys came out relatively unscathed.
Prayers to all those who suffered losses during the tornado outbreak.

Man! Looks like you guys had it rough up there. We went through the same thing a few years back. It didn't tear up anything of mine, but we had several friends and neighbors who lost everything; some even lost their lives. Glad to hear from you.
