Leveled parts of a town about 10 minutes from here, they evacuated the entire town.
I was at my house doing some work and listening to the Bears game on the radio and the EAS went off for a tornado warning, so I came back to my parent's house where there's a basement. Had a freakout on the way back (it's about an eight minute drive...) because I realized they were using The Button at the station. The Button is only to be used during an emergency. It puts the jock out across all the stations at once. That was when I knew it was serious, because he wouldn't have used The Button unless it was really serious. Got home, grabbed dogs, and we all stayed in the basement until it was over. Everything is fine at my parent's house. I went back to my house and had to park in the street to remove limbs from my driveway before I could pull in, and had to haul another large limb out of the street.
The carport behind my garage was almost ripped up off the asphalt. One entire side was up over two inches off the ground and the other side had started coming up, I could tell by the elevated screws that are supposed to hold it down. I don't know what would have happened if it came loose, if it would have just rammed into the garage or if it would have actually gotten picked up and thrown somewhere... I don't know how to secure it down more than it is. They were saying 70+ MPH winds. That can't happen again so we'll have to figure something out. I was going to just leave it, because the space underneath there is shielded from the rain and snow so I can still work the dogs outside in crappy weather... but now I'm wondering if I should remove it... it's scary.
So far everybody I know is safe and hasn't lost anything, but the major damage is very close. About forty minutes.
