A few weeks ago, an extremely dangerous storm swept through our area spawning multiple
tornadoes and a lot of damage. Fortunately, I wasn't in an area hard hit.. however, many weren't so lucky.
Sadly, the same storm front went right up to Illinois and slammed Springfield, Chatham (where I grew up), and many of the surrounding area's pretty bad. I quickly learned that a good friend of mine, Kyle, had his farm hit pretty bad. Fortunately, no one was injured and the their home was spared.
Now they just have to get the insurance to come through for them, it's tough to be a farmer now-days… and this won't help things any.
Kyle graciously sent me a few pictures of the damage and I was “blown away” (sorry for the pun). It was an incredible feeling when I saw the pictures; this massive farm, I remembered being amazed by, was reduced to shambles.
We hope you are doing ok up there and the clean-up process is coming along quickly Kyle. Best wishes for you and your family!
