Twister


Wednesday, August 19th, Sangamon and Logan Counties were slammed with an EF3 tornado - wind speeds up to 140 mph and a diameter of 1/2 mile wide in some locations. Several families lost their homes and crops to the devastating forces. Needless to say, this was definitely one of the highlights to my interested, morbid mind. Brad got to see the 9 mile rotating cloud from our apartment balcony as the storm cell headed Northeast towards the small town of Beason. The tornado dissolved into the sky before taking any more homes.

The summer has swiftly passed and I am trying to reckon what I have to show for it. Brad and I were able to visit NH in July, I have assisted Michael Gowin in E-sessions and weddings, and Brad has registered for the Hargrove School at LCC where he will be studying Leadership and Management.
If the weather is nice, we'll be taking our first hot air balloon ride during the Logan County Art and Balloon Festival! I'd include the logo, but I think it looks dumb.
