For all of us in the way of potentially severe weather tonight,

Please heed all warnings, and spend those precious moments that you're in harms way in a safe space, please.

Looks like the worst of this stuff is going just north of us here in central Illinois.

If you're fifty miles north of I-70, I'd be nervous.

Lost power and internet here for a short time but is back on now. Looks like the worst has passed through here. Couple of branches down but no real damage.
