Keep your fingers crossed for no damage. There is a confirmed tornado heading straight at KBUU in Wisconsin right now. The WX radio here has been going none stop for the past 20 minutes. The warning is "take cover now" For Richmond, IL

I have been watching the hires doppler and you can see the circulation.
 
KBUU is closest to 5K6, where I'm based.
I hope they're okay.

I was reading last night that there was some tornado damage to houses in the area including Harvard, IL which has a nice little airport. But no pictures nor word of any airport damage itself. It looks like the worst damage was a school bus that was blown off the road with kids in it. Several kids sent to hospital but none serious.

Looks like the twisters went north of me and south of me. Yep, Dacy Airport in Harvard is one of my favorites, all grass.

The all-grass airport is a too-rare creature.
Another good one is Iola, Wisconsin's, airport.
 
And then theres that nice little airport in the UP run by some tyrannical pilot's license hating troll from Grand Rapids :D
 
Another good grass field in WI is Brodhead.
