How 'bout that weather?

Record highs? You guys are getting the weather we had here in the Chicago area yesterday (typing this waiting for our flight home). One thing you probably won't have, though: Tornado watches. You know how they say approaching tornadoes sound like freight trains? Last night around 10, in Kankakee, for about five minutes, it sounded just like a freight train (as opposed to the Train They Call the City of New Orleans, which pulls out of Kankakee) was headed right our way. Even the Midwestern-bred wife was concerned. But we survived the night (phew), didn't have to go down to the tornado shelter and this morning, it still looked like there was a lot more damage from a) the ice storm they also had last week and b) the freezing/thawing/freezing that has left the roads around here in even worse shape than, oh, Rte. 9 under construction.
