Well, I'm not in your area, but here, in Indiana, we had some bad damage. They are saying it was a tornado, but aren't sure yet.

Kobi is also in Mass, as well as scubadyke.

Ms. Meander is fine too.

I've not heard from Chancie, I've texted; the tornadoes touched down about 40miles south of ChancieFancyPants' home & work locations. So, its quite likely she's ok too.

I don't know about Fishinabaggie or Outlaw. Are they in western MA?

We're still under tornado warning, but the worst of the storms remain 20mi south of Northampton moving - east.

Adding:
There is still an active storm and warning, just North and East of Chancie's area.
No reports of anything touching down, but I expect she's taking cover and being safe.

ChancieFancyPants reporting in. She and Pete are just fine!

I'm whoa-kay. :)
 

Checking in...

Liz is out of the basement! She and the man-child are doing well, eating dinner the last I heard. In the face of uncertainty...when not subsurface...our Fishy was cooking...checking in, taking care and making dinner :)

It has been a very scary time and I think it will take folks a long time to clean up and recover from this storm... literally and figuratively. The National Guard has been deployed and the Governor has declared a State of Emergency.

I appreciate the warmth and concern, it's been very reassuring. I can't be there...I'm 65 miles away and at work with 25 frantic teenage girls and 31 babies, it's hot AND it's PMS week add a spike in barometric pressure and intermittent power!

Thank you for thinking of us!

I am exhausted!!!!!
 

Tornados take a lot out of you! LOL

My family members and loved ones are all fine. I am very thankful!
I am very touched by all the concern from my BF family. Thank you.
I found some footage of the tornado touching down just across the river.........picking up water and then zooming over our main bridge and right down Main St. 4 lives were lost at last count. They cannot get into all the collapsed buildings because of gas leaks and roof collapses. Scary stuff!

I am so glad my Outlaw was out of harms way! Actually, it was probably safer at my house than at her job with all that PMS! :)

I'm glad you are ALL ok!!!!

Wow. What an afternoon/evening! We had intense storms with hail and high winds and lost power for a couple of hours but all is well and everyone is accounted for. I truly appreciated text messages from Sparkle, keeping me updated throughout (and slightly amused at the image of her trying to rustle her herd to the basement, xo).

ps: Semantics lives far enough away that I believe she would not have been affected.
