Glad everyone is okay. Very terrifying day. I was in Lombard for a work convention. difficult child has returned home from California due to her disrespectful mouth. Ugh, another story, but she was unlocking the door to my van and the key broke in half, did not have a spare. Well we were sitting in the car waiting for the locksmith who thankfully was 4 hours late. Otherwise we could have been in the Coal City Braidwood, Pekin area at all the wrong times. It was very scary in the motel. I was right in front of a huge glass wall and I moved pretty quick, while the so called experts, lol stood right in front of it. Oh there's no tornado there's no rotation. omg, I was like it doesn't have to have rotation to be dangerous or kill you, just a strong wind can throw something into the window. I was stand there if you want, difficult child and I were out of there. We got into a safer area and hunkered down. Lombard wasn't directly hit, but my entire ride home that night was crazy. Semis overturned on the highways, power lines down. it took 6 hours to get home, it would normally take 3 hours. police and ambulances everywhere. One of our doctors lost his house, completely gone. He was at our convention and got the call that his family was safe but home was completely missing. My neighbor hood was hit by straight line winds in May of this year. I just wish the weather would calm down. It's very, very scary. I feel so bad for those affected. My dog Kainda's owners live in Pekin area. They are safe and the tornado hit about three blocks from them.
