No damage here...
The line of storms swept through my area without doing much damage--they developed into monsters on the eastern side of the state, sending several large tornadoes through southeast Missouri and southern Illinois. I used to have a lot of relatives in the area around Chester, Illinois area. My dad grew up in nearby Swanwick/Pinckneyville, and his mother lived their until her last days. I spent a week or two every summer with her, and though we never actually went to Chester, she'd talk about her cousins who lived there. I suspect I may still have distant cousins living there. I hope they're okay.
Of course, because it's not the East or West Coast (or Atlanta)s, there's precious little coverage on the damage this morning on the Weather Channel. Disappointing.
We'll have rain and storms all week, and today it's very cool with a sharp wind blowing. Winter really is knocking on the door. I think we'll have loaded baked potatoes for supper tonight. It'll be nice to run the oven for an hour and fill the house with a good potato aroma.
Hope everyone's week is off to a good start. What's on your plate for supper tonight?
