A strong possibility of yet another re-run here.

Illinois has been the home of weather nightmares concerning tornadoes this year. This article explains what could well be on the way this week...last Wednesday and Thursday was, for us here, the stuff of nightmares. Ridiculous winds, lashing rains, hail, tornadic activity, flooding...the only thing we didn't get was snow. And at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if we DID get snow!
Anyway...if this plays out, Wednesday could be yet another day of hiding out and hoping it doesn't happen...and then it does. This could have some terrible outcomes, and it will travel east. If you are in the path, please be safe.

A lot of people in my area had roof or shingle damage from last week’s storms. Some people just got their power back on late yesterday!

You know I’m praying for your safety, as well as all my friends in Chicago, and good ol’ JJ.

I know, and those prayers mean a lot, believe me!!
JJ has had a hard year. Let’s hope things are getting better for him now.

Oh, goodness, that article did not paint a good picture. Despite Oklahoma having that destructive tornado in Enid this year, we have had far fewer than normal. There is still plenty of time left, of course. I can’t believe though how bad you guys have been getting it.

If I am recalling what I read earlier today, we have the highest number of tornadoes in the US for this year, already. Did you send us some? (I know you didn't!) The storms are definitely a concern, and people are paying way more attention to them than they used to here.

Unfortunately, if it doesn't hit us it will likely hit someone, somewhere. Those storms are like that.

My area could use showers from a weather disturbance near Texas giving my area showers later this week.

I hope you get some rain if you need it. Lots of storms have brought us from a severe draught to flooding last week, it’s all up and down now.

The weather is insane this year. We have already had a thunderstorm and small hail this morning. Thankfully NOT the wind, this time.

We are expecting rain and high winds on Thursday of this week.
I took that day off because I have to drive up to Pond Mills, the other side of town here, to go to my hair dresser's.
It is a busy drive, on a street where everyone is in a hurry and driving without all of the good sense.
I will putz along like I always do, probably slower due to the rain and wind.

It must be a very frightening experience to go through this kind of highly dangerous weather.

I've already tried to reply. I'll try again. I hope you stay safe.
