Hey Richard, thanks for thinking of me! The tornado missed my place by three city blocks to the south. It crossed over the Mississippi to the east of my place and destroyed the blue heron rookery island, destoying over 200 nests and the spring hatch...then went over east river road and tipped over some train cars. Just an EF-1, it made quite a mess but most folks came out OK.

If you interested here is a link to an unfortunate end to the island;
