What a night!!!

Let's just say we have made it thru this storm without any bad weather. Iowa City, Iowa got hit really hard. I go there alot to go to the mall well, I don't know if that is gonna happen for awhile. I've been glued to the news for the past 3 hours. This storm also passed thru my Grandparents home down in Muscatine County, In Iowa/Illinois. I called them to tell them I loved them and that I will call them when the storm is gone. They said the tornadoes/storm split around them. I was totally tripping here over that, as they live out in a middle of a field. They went into their basement and hovered down. They had golfball sized hail hit. I am just happy they are ok. This storm went completely around us here. There were three tornadoes in the area of where my Grandparents live. One fatality as of tonight in that area. But the story of the night is in Iowa City, IA. Its a big College town and with tonight being a big party night and holy night. A Church, St. Patricks was hit hard. There were at least 75 parishners that were taken to the basement and then the tornado hit. Everyone is ok.

The last tornado to hit around here, I remember very clearly. Its so devastating. This is the second storm that has went around us here this year. But I think this is the worst one yet. We are still having Hail, from pea size to baseball size going on for over 2 hours. From Iowa City, IA to past Galesburg, IL. Not continuously in the same spot. Well, my allergies have kicked my ass today. I am off to bed. Yay!!!!
