Washington, Il. F-3 tornado
 

They got clobbered pretty bad a couple of hours ago. Tremendous damage.

Pekin-Morton-Washington-E. Peoria number of Model A owners over there. It's real bad calling for help from all over. Rainmaker Ron lives near here. There are a couple of the Natl. Model A Clubs in this vicinity Washington I believe is the headquarters to one of them

I've been watching reports on this storm. It sounds pretty serious in some areas. I hope everyone is prepared and safe.

Yea that was a nasty one. Everyone i know is safe. One of my coworkers house got leveled tho. Going to be a long while to get it back close to normal....

I haven't talked to Mr Rainmaker Ron but he doesn't live/work in the path it took so he should be A-ok.

Well they shut off access to Washington and said they have more than plenty volunteers to help.

There is a fellow by the name of Lee that I met years ago, lives in Washington, had a pretty nice '30 Dlx. Roadster. I'm sure he's too busy right now to look at Fordbarn. He used to live out by the swimming pool, that was in the path of the twister on the north part of town.

One man killed in Washington don't know the name yet. 8 in serious condition.

Weather even affected the Bear's game Sunday! People were very orderly in the evacuation.

The safest place to be at. Touchdowns are a rare sight at Soldier Field when the Chicago Bears are playing. :)
