On November 17, 2013 at 11:05 AM an EF-4 tornado crossed diagonally through our town of Washington IL.  Other towns in the Midwest were also affected but our town was most heavily damaged with over 1,000 homes demolished or rendered uninhabitable.  Our home was not harmed, nor were the homes of my co-hosts, Sarah and Bronwyn.  Bronwyn's home was closest to the path of the tornado. My mother-in-law's home was demolished but she was not home at the time the tornado hit. In this episode I talk about my experience that day and some observations from the rest of the week.

Thank you so much for your many messages of concern and support.
