I'm fine... tornadoes passed to the south of us. If I were still working for the Southbridge News, I'd be in the middle of it. But I'm fine.

Have another band coming my way now.

Went into the basement a second time, just in case. Had some heavy rains. Supposedly there was a funnel near the mall, but I'm not too positive.

The Wonder Cat may never speak to me again, though.... put her in her cat carrier to bring her downstairs.

I live in downtown Monson, MA and we took a direct hit from the tornado shown in the Brimfield video shown in the post above. Half a mile from my house there are homes missing and there's even one house that was flipped UPSIDE DOWN!! If you saw the news story of the church that had the whole top taken off, that is about one block away from my house. We were very fortunate and our home has no damage, but there is massive destruction all around us. Most of my family lives here as well and all of us are safe and our homes are in good shape. Will post a link to pictures/video later.

Laurie,

A few of my friends work for Turley Pub... one is the sports editor, the other a photographer. The photographer told me she was at Wal-Mart (probably in Palmer?) that night and there was a family from Monson who had lost everything. It's just so sad.
