Hey guys, so just a quick update. For those of you who know, we had a tornado go through my town on Monday (Coal City, IL) and its done a hell of a lot to the town. Thankfully my house didnt get hit too badly, but 2 pine trees in my yard 1 on the front, 1 in the back) got uprooted and fell in our yard. Front one is blocking the front door and porch and the back one knocked out our power lines. It's gunna be at least a week for our house to get fixed. In the meantime we're house hopping from between both of my aunt's houses.

What does this mean for you all? It means I won't be able to be contacted much. Internet, phone, nothing. I have data but I'm down to 1 gig for the next few days until July 1st and my phone battery needs to last my the entire day (include a computer charge) for any phonecalls.

Our family, including my aunt who is a block from the major destruction, is all fine. My aunt has house damage (but also has insurance which will cover most of the damage) and my mom's car got hit. Thankfully its just a roof dent and the side mirrors that were damaged badly, so its looking to be a $50-100 fix. Oh, and the radio antenna too, but that still works, kind of.

We're in for more sever storms tonight, so lets hope everyone is fine. Our town was just recovering from the tornado 2 years ago and now this fresh hell happened. Wish my town luck, we're going to need it.
