Well now, that was a bit of a wicked storm. eesh

I am hoping my kitties will come out from under the bed soon.

I'm in DuPage county and these winds that just went through were something else.

Hope all my Illinois neighbors are fine and dandy.

Have you seen the damage reports? What a mess, but no injuries.

We've got trees/limbs down around the neighborhood, but we had no damage. Did you and your neighborhood come through it ok?

But eh, I don't have a yard, and I haven't walked around much to look at any damage.
