Waiting to hear from a friend whose family lives in the Peoria area.

Family in Princeton IL (45Mi north) said it was only windy and it was good for pulling leaves off of a stubborn tree.

I have family in Dixion and around there.

Waiting to hear from a friend whose family lives in the Peoria area.

It hit 20 miles from their house but took out the condo they looked at the day before it hit. They were intending to buy the condo but now think they'll stay in their house. Pretty easy decision!

[Jackie]

Wow! I hope all your friends and family are OK.

wow, hate to see this, had to go through the one in Moore, OK in May. pictures and video never do justice to what the damage is really like.

Just watched this video.

Shocking.

The video is a man who stands on his front porch, videos the coming tornado. Amazing footage. Shocking to see the debris flying around. About 1 minute into the video he decides he better run inside to his wife. They go in the basement, the camera goes dark but you can still hear them.

Then he goes out and half the upstairs is missing.

Really hit me hard to watch and listen.

That video is intense. My heart goes out to all that have lived through this. Tears did come to my eyes.
