I hope it stays that way for you. We have caught so many breaks. I have a 14 yr old nephew that will be staying home a lone during the summer, while his dad works. He kinda gets weirded out when we are in tornado watches, which of course I understand why. But it gives him an excuse to call me and talk, I like that he becomes a chatter box, lol.No doubt. I'm sure I wouldn't have handled it well either. I'm somewhat in the alley also, northwest IL. We've had some funnels but nothing that touched down really close, thank God.
