Default Tornado and fire!!!

Okay, everyone has heard of the tornado that hit a few days ago?? It hit Dwight and streator in IL.
And then there was the Riviera that burnt down the day before yesterday... Well, the night before yesterday. If you dont know what the riviera is, its a old "hangout" that Al Capon used to go to, quite often. And the last so many years has been a resturant that anybody can go to.

Well, I got a couple pics for you all>> And I only got one pic of the tornado damage, and there were houses with torn off roofs and others that were just demoslished>>

It also hit the area surrounding a town near me called Leamington, Ontario. It was initially reported as an F1, but later got upgraded to an F2.

I'm not trying to "one up" wht02monte. Fact is, parts of Michigan got hit much worse than Leamington did. Prayers go out to all those who lost their home or a loved one from last weekend's storm.

Oh, no, Im sure there are alot of places that got hit MUCH worse than here. I didnt even hear about anywhere else getting hit. But that is crazy, I dont have the chance to get out there today, but I will for sure tomarrow morning so you all can see the REAL extent of the damage. Its not as bad as those other 3 galleries though.

I did hear that 7 people got killed though. Just hearsay though, It could just be a rumor. And it was VERY sad to go out there and see people digging through their stuff and trying to clean up what they could. Its amazing though, one side of the street was demoslished and the other side was untouched.

Yeah, it might have been in some other states. I actually think it was.
