Thanks, Vera.  I'm glad to know that Donna is all right.  Kitty, were you
affected by the torrential downpour in IN yesterday?  I heard it was
something like 10".

Greetings all - Wanted to report on the Illinois tornadoes. Donna's town 
and very close was effected and she is without power.  I don't know of
damages in her area but they are all intact.  With power out she will be
unable to check in as she does so well for all of us.
