For those of you who live in these two states, How did you all fare during all those tornadoes and severe thunderstorms?
I for one always get very nearvous about strong storms, especially since I survived through one in 1965 in the twin cities.

We were all ready for it here, I always get extra bottled water, flash lights out, fill the pet bowls, ect, and we got nothing! We really need rain, but the bad storms can be so scarry!

We were driving home from vacation in the Brainerd Lakes area. We probably were ahead of the storm by an hour. Thank goodness. Don't like storms either especially when we are on the road with an RV. I guess the campground we stayed at had 3-4 inches of rain last note. We planned on staying an extra day, sure glad we didn't.

We were out and about and tried to avoid the storm. No such luck, we got marble sized hail and now my car looks like a golf ball. I just got the car in May and I am so not looking forward to the insurance/repair hassles.
