It came pretty close to my place in Andover, but thankfully no losses to report!

It sounds like the tornado touched down just a few miles east of us.  We saw a little bit of marble sized hail, and Josh's car now has a little dent from that.  Otherwise we're in good shape.

Once again wishing we had a basement.

Sun never stopped shining down here in Apple/Lakeville.

No rain...nothing.

Was a bit worried about Sleepy's new car with the hail.

So other than a major ear infection for me...things are sorta good.

We're good here in Elk River.  No damage and only a bit of rain... or so I was told by the neighbors since I was in TN!!! ;)

Tornado skipped down about a quarter mile east of my place. That's as close as I care to come.

Sleepy's new car was in the garage...I think that was one of the first things he'd mentioned when I saw him on Sunday. :-) I'm alive...no idea if it rained...my pretty flowers look nice and happy so maybe they got some water, but they weren't damaged at all.

We are ok.

Satit out at Toarmod and Synn's place. We did see some rotation of clouds that was scary but never touched down, Im betting that was what touched later in Hugo.

Yes the car is ok...  ;D

I tend to forget that you all get those from time to time too.  I've seen my fair share of cloud rotation and wall clouds living in the middle of OZ out here.  However, I have been lucky... it seems that they always go around my city... and I have EXCELLENT insurance should something happen.  I'm glad everyone is OK.  LEt's hope none of us need to worry about those again soon.

George and I are fine.  However the house we are working on is not.  In Somerset, WI there was softball sized hail that took huge chunks out of the siding we had just put up on Friday.  We now get to redo an entire wall.  There are also now gaping holes in the garage roof.  The homeowners car also now has no windows and enough divots to be considered a golf ball.  Yesterday was spent photographing the damage and putting together a estimate for her insurance company.

I was in Wisconsin....the storm that hit you guys spurned tornados up by my grandma which prompted a "NOT AGAIN!" from us (Ladysmith,WI tornado Labor Day about 5 years ago) but she was fine and by the time it hit Waupaca County is was just severe thunderstorms which skirted to the north of Waupaca and nailed the towns just north of us.  There was some rain..and a little thunder but that was really it.

However watching the news that night and seeing Hugo being talked about by the Green Bay weather station kinda freaked me out a little.  Glad everyone in teh north burbs is good.

Brandi and I were over her aunt and uncles house for most of the day. But We saw no problems down our way. Glad to hear everyone else is okay.
