Day 5

A tornado just hit the town of Washington, Illinois. This storm affected many people, including one of the guys in my church's girlfriend. Her family got their house destroyed and they lost most of their house. I'm from Wisconsin so the storms really didn't affect me at all. We had high winds and a few trees and branches were down but nothing super damaging. My heart goes out to those people because my mom grew up 15 miles from Chandler, Minnesota,where an EF5 tornado destroyed nearly the whole town. My great uncle was on the fire department at the time so I have heard stories about what it's like so I know how devastated the people are.
