4. Have chain-saw, will travel.

seems it was on the ground for quite a distance.

I hope DUers in the track are well and will check in as they get a chance.

Got lucky in S WI as temps here are 20 degrees lower...sucked the power out of it as it crossed the stateline.

5. Scuba is near there. Might be a bit further east.

Any recent posts from Scuba?

I'm just north and west, takes me 20-30 minutes to get to lake G in the car, directly north of Rockford 15 miles.

6. Scuba's last post is from this morning

Sound's like you are pretty close to Beloit

9. In Beloit.

I know Scuba lives east of me, somewhere in the row of counties bordering Illinois.

11. Moved from the Davis Junction area 14 years ago. Wife's family still lives there.

Everybody safe.

The Rochelle tornado ate a restaurant called "Grubsteakers". As of two years ago they had good food.
