Illinois folks...be safe during the severe weather

[RPOLS3]

Some of you know my brother Dave is in Washington. Luckily he, his wife, and toddler age daughter were up here in the Rockford area visiting us today when all this happened.

Unfortunately his house was in the line of the tornado and while still standing my guess is will be a complete loss based on pictures we have seen. Going down tomorrow to make a better assessment and get the ball rolling on what to do next. His in laws had severe damage as well. Houses just 2 lots to the east of his were leveled and nothing left other than foundations all the way down the street. As has been said here before - the physical things can be replaced/repaired. We are thankful they are OK.
