We just got back from a month in Jo Daviess county (extreme NW Illinois near Galena) where our son has some property and has an RV site set up for us.
We are in an area of the country where we've had too much rain. The Mississippi has been at or near flood stage for a record amount of time.

We got home just in time for a line of thunderstorms roll through the area that produced a small tornado that touched down about 5 miles north of us yesterday. Mostly trees blown down and some siding blown off. We were sitting it out in our safe area with the dogs and had no damage.
