Not *the* Windy City, but certainly *a* windy city!

Tornadoes again.  Not in my neighborhood, but a block from phierma and cos_x .

Airport:  closed.  Many car windows blown out.  One plane blown into the concourse building.

One major highway closed due to downed power lines.

45, 000 without power, including phierma .

Storms south of STL still working their way across the area, with more potential tornadic weather.

just good to know you're okay! (and hopefully the rest of the gang as well) I saw the news reports, and Lambert is a mess!

I heard there was a shuttle bus dangling off a building. Any word if anyone was in it?

[axejudge]

I don't think anyone was in the bus. It was perched rather precariously.

ungoth was freaked out cause he could not reach me but I left my phone in my room and did not even notice he called until 2am. Woke up to him calling to tell me what all got hit and how close it was to me.

Finally got power back last night; Got roof fixed this morning; facia needs fixing, some gutter, corner flashing, and downspout damage yet to deal with. All things considered, we were very fortunate indeed.
