As most of you may know, Rock Island (my city) got hit with 90MPH + winds two nights ago and our local library just got power, so thats where I'm posting from. I will be out of power until Thursday or Friday, and I probably wont grade the GFX for this period either unless grading is still open by the time our power gets restored. Just wanted all of you to know.
I may post pictures of our house later, since a tree fell on it, causing powerlines to go out.

Internet is back at my house now, they surprisingly got on the ball with returning calls for power outages, and our whole neighborhood has power now. It was scary, about as close to a tornado as it can get. We still have a lot of streets blocked off because of trees down. I'm alright other than some scrapes and bruises from cleaning up. Gotta check up on the rest of the leagues now.

well i live no more then 1-2 hours from him, and it was a bad storm... Yeah, worst I've seen. There wasn't any tornadoes, just hard winds and a lot of lightening. If I can figure out this digital camera I will post some pictures of a guys house that got struck by lightening. The whole roof is charred. It's still crazy down here. Is it true Rock Island was being covered on the national news?

Nothing like OMGZ storm worthy though.
