Tornados from Hell

[Chicago Discus]

Hello Guys,

Say a little prayer for the people who were hit by the tornados last night here in Illinois. We were hit pretty bad yesterday here in this State by the devastating force of the tornados. We were very lucky at Chicago Discus not to be in the tornados path. But the winds were out of this world. Just wanted to share.....Josie

I have family in northern Il that have horse farms and they are all ok....

I'm so glad to hear that you and you family and friends are ok. I grew up in Houston and we had a killer tornado strike the Channelview area in the early nineties. Everyone I knew either had a family member or friend effected by it. Looked like someone dropped a bomb on the city. Stay safe.

Wow! I am just reading all of this now... Devastating... After living through Sandy here, having our homes and businesses smashed, ruined and maimed I know how these people feel. I used to never really give it much thought in the past, pre-sandy, when I saw destruction. Once you live through something like that and feel the effects to the core, you know and feel for anyone and everyone who has to suffer.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all...

Thank God it didn't get to you and the hatchery!

Any power outages or anything like that?

Do you have backup generators there to protect your stock?
