@mvnla2 can you me a favor I think ripsy is in the storm in Illinois I can't find him on the map?

Kathy

There's actually a lot of members in Illinois and Ohio my thoughts and prayers are with them all:(

mvnla2

A twinkle! Yea @Rat! I'm with SweetP, I think no weight loss is the turning point to weight gain.

mvnla2

@Kathy -- Sorry for not answering sooner; I've been out all afternoon. @rdnzlrips82 lives in Effington, which is in southern IL; quite a ways from Peoria, where I heard there were tornados earlier today. Will have to check news for what's going on now.

mvnla2

@E-Star -- Sounds like I should put more of the Netherlands on my "to visit" list.

mvnla2

@Kathy -- Just looked at the news on the severe weather, as far as I can tell @rdnzlrips82 should be OK. Will have to see what else happens with this storm. Hope everyone else is safe.

mvnla2

@all those in the storms way, the ABN Bloated Pig patrons would like to know that you are OK. Please post in the BP wether or not you are OK after the storm passes.
We all hope you have no problems, and send you best wishes.

sunshine

Gracie

Gracie0211 just checking in. Thanks for thinking of us. Inside the house, I'm still recovering from recent surgery, but from the looks of our cats, terror reins beyond the doors and windows. From the sound of things, they may be right. At times it sound like the hounds of hell have gotten loose, but if you peek out the windows everything is still standing locally, and we know of no nearby casualties. Stay safe out there!!!

Kathy

Gotta scoot for now.get ready for work tomorrow..I'll be back In a bit
Thanks again @mvnla2

Kathy

Thanks for checking in @Gracie0211 that's scary kitties have that weird sense:/ hope you stay safe.prayers are with you((( hugs)))))

mvnla2

@sunshine @Gracie -- Good to know you are OK. Hope everyone else is well.
I still think @rdnzlrips82 is out of harm's way, but would like to hear from him.

Kathy

I sent an email to ripsy @mvnla2 but no reply yet I trust your knowledge of the map to feel that he's o.k ty

Gracie

In reality, wvnla2, the weather channels can be very misleading. For example, we had a tornado watch/warning with high winds and heavy rain until 11:00 tonight, but if you looked at our radar anytime about ten minutes after my last post, there wasn't a single cloud on it. (They were here and then completely gone! Where they went I have no clue because they're not on our radar anymore.) We still have some pretty strong winds occasionally, but the rain is gone and most probably the chance of a tornado has left too. If anyone would like to give me a better idea where ripsy is, I'd be happy to see what the local news says, if anything, about that area and then report back to you.

Kathy

Thanks @Gracie @mvnla2 could give a more accurate location of ripsy he's in southern Illinois is all I knew near effington?

Kathy

Thank goodness the tornadoes didn't hit you:)
Btw welcome to the BP:)

Gracie

Well let me have a listen to my local news coming on here in just a minute and see what they have to say about Southern Illinois in the Effington area. I'll come back either when the news is over or when they finish their report. Honestly, I'm on so many meds right now, a tornado could blow right through my bedroom where I'm propped, and I probably wouldn't notice it. :) Nonetheless, thank you for the well wishes and the welcome too!!

Kathy

Thanks Gracie and I do hope you get to feeling better:(

Gracie

At least five dead in Illinois. Power outages everywhere in Illinois and Indiana. From the sound of things, if you DO have power, you're in the VAST minority. (Count your blessings!) There are problems in Indiana getting word to the local news reporters because people are not welcome into certain areas just now and the people who belong there aren't saying much or going to the allowed areas to talk to the press. Those who ARE talking to the press appear to be looking for loved ones - showing pictures of people, so I'm guessing that's what is happening. The authorities are making it known that if you leave the general location of your home, you may not be able to get back for a while, so people are staying put. Power lines and phone lines are down and cell service is clogged so people are just going to have to be patient -- that's almost a direct quote. That's about all I'm getting off of my local news in the Akron/Cleveland Ohio areas before they start to repeat themselves. I wish I could be most helpful. I'm becoming a little fearful of falling asleep on you so I'm going to have to say goodnight. Just be patient. I'm sure ripsy with contact somebody as soon as he is able to do so. I know that's hard to hear, but right now that's about all there is to say. Keep the faith. Talk to you soon. EVERYONE stay safe!

Kathy

Good night Gracie and thank you so much for the update my prayers are with all of those in storms way:(
@Ripsy ,@rdnzlrips82 please check in of you can..

Mumsie

Hope everyone is safe from the tornados, thinking of you all!

Loved the trade you did with your friend and that jewelry is beautiful!! Thanks for sharing the picture! :) Loved the new acronym as well! Got a kick out of it!

Kimmiecv

@Kathy all is well, besides having to do a craft nightmare my sister begged my Mom and I to help her with which took all Saturday afternoon and wellllll into the late evening, so NOT my thing!! Painting itty bitty teeny tiny details I have all the patience in the world but sewing blahblahblah I have ZERO!! Today was the BBQ/cake and it was loads of fun!! :) Hopefully you had a good weekend!! :)
*shines Kathys flashlight for her use tomorrow and sets out candles to see her safely to dreamland *
Warning though!! Monday and Tuesday are going to be a nightmare of Loooong work hours so I likely won't be seeing you before your pillow walk!! We've a new system and the data we used is Gone not to mention the bugs we've found are horrid!! Aargh me not happy!!!! :( Hope your Monday is better than mine will be!! (((((Hugs)))))

angryboy

one day everything is normal, next... they've unleashed the new forums

mvnla2

@Gracie @Kathy -- Well, need to try to figure out where all the tornados were. Looks like they may have blanketed most of IL. @Rdnzlrips82 is in the far south of IL, in Effington, but I just saw a map that had tornados even in the southern tip of IL.

@angryboy -- Change is good. New forums look pretty good and admins working hard to make sure they are as good as possible. Let them know if you see anything you think needs to be changed.

TienShenLong

Hello to @ll... just using a job break... what's up?

underthegarden

@mvnla2 and all -- Thank you so much for your concern! I am fine, and all my family is fine. I live too far north to have been in the tornado's path. Well, there was more than one tornado's I think, so I mean I was farther north than the damaging part of the storm system's path. We got lots of wind and rain! Fun fact: I was catching up on sleep, so I slept through the whole thing. I didn't even know there would be storms. Luckily, my mom keeps track of weather. I mean, if we lived where the storm hit, it would be bad to be uninformed. I heard it was an EF2. That seems low. I didn't hear of any fatalities.

Also, I live nearer to Chicago than Springfield. I'm 21 now, so I can update the map if I want.

EDIT// Apparently there were fatalities. Good information, @Gracie

mvnla2

@Kathy -- Well I found a map of the tornados, and there was a small one fairly close to @Rdnzlrips82, but it was in Altamont, not Effingham (it is EffingHAM, not EffingTON as I wrote at least once above.) I don't know exactly where ripsy lives, but he was active on the nest 2 min ago, so he should be OK.

mvnla2

You may have to click on a link to see the map. Effingham is north-east of St. Lewis; you may have to zoom in a bit to see it.
Here's the link to the map:
