I hope everyone made it through OK!
Power flicked here and went off for about a minute. The wind came up hard! I know I've got at least one limb down. I'm between Mooresville and Plainfield, not too far from the airport. The airport clocked a 71 mph gust, and a couple of the old buildings in downtown Mooresville got hammered...as in walls down.
Mooresville's been hit hard lately. Last weekend my brother (in Mooresville) got a tree on his garage and house, and a building behind his house had a wall separated from the rest of the building.

Well down here in Evansville, IN we dodged the bullet. The storms were predicted to give us 50 to 70 mph winds but the winds petered out and I don't even think it rained here.

Pretty well a non event in Newburgh. We had enough last week with the F2 that blew through here.
A few folks lost electricity and maybe a few limbs down here and there.
No rain.. or hail.
I did put my old 4Runner in the garage before the wind came.

Never lost power....which is odd for us. We got some trees down but nothing serious in my immediate area that I am aware of. The lightening show was pretty good....we sat out on the porch and watched it as it passed over. We got the wind first and then the rain. After 20 minutes or so it was just another thunderstorm.

I was coming back from my sister's house about ten miles from mine about a half hour after sunset when the wind hit. I've driven through many storms with my Cherokee including some sorta scary one out west on hunting trips in ND and NE, but never had one tossing the truck around as bad as this one. I was looking for some place to pull off and shelter for a while until it blew over, but everywhere I could think of was either too close to a ridge that was likely to have serious debris coming off of it, or was too open and wouldn't offer any significant protection, so I just slowed a little to about 50 and kept going for home. Sure relieved to get downwind of high ground just before home.
Haven't been out to survey damage yet but our heavy plastic wheeled trashcan that hasn't budged in any previous storms is laying on its side in my backyard, about twenty feet from it's place in what should have been an upwind direction.
Our power was uninterrupted again. I was speaking about that with the wife just before bedtime. Our power used to always be reliably unreliable, but the last three years or so the REMC here has been excellent through every storm that we expected to take our power out. We seem to almost certainly have a few short interruptions a day or so afterwards, which I assume is due to the repairs that have to take place elsewhere on our supply lines, but very rarely during the storms.

A tree limb took out my old bow target stand. I've been wanting to tear it down anyway.

So our power finally came back on about 7 this morning. 10 hours without it. Then, here we sit again with no power. Hopefully not near as long this time.

Vincennes got its as$ hammered, trees down everywhere broken poles out by my house. Been without power for 2 days now, lots of fun with no tv for the girls to watch and to cold/muddy for them to go outside. That coupled with the virus I don't think me and the wife have drank this much since our wedding night. Lost the tops of 3 pine trees in the side yard not to mention when they came down they decided to shear the branches off of the neighboring trees. Hopefully duke get's their act together as for the last 2 days I haven't seen a single duke truck out and about.
But did get to help a buddy clean up his neighborhood a little bit. Felt good to get out and help other people out. Since then the wife has fired the "bean counters" and has instructed/told/ordered me to get a generator for the house. So under threat of a reprisal from my wife I said loud and clear "Message Received".

The important things here are fine....I had some tin on a barn roof pulled loose but nothing major. It did destroy 2 of my wooden shooting houses and relocated the one I have on a gravity wagon by pushing it 15 feet or so (but it survived).
