No twisters here, but the wind blew the shingles off my neighbors house.

The view from my shop roof looking north towards marion IN.
The dollar general warehouse in Marion IN.
This was the view from my buddy's shop in Sheridan IN
I didn't far enough north to see most of the damage and the county to the north west of me is under a state of emergency so we can't go there.

hope everyone is ok, been through that kind of storms, they aren't fun.

Interesting beyond the destruction. You can see scrub lines in the fields. One row of houses is left standing while the rest on either side are destroyed. Outside of town, two farm houses got hit, but within 1,000 feet on either side are two churches, where a lot of people where, neither got touched. The debris field...
