This doesn't sound good for Liberty Belle and the rest outdoors - fingers crossed.

I'm about 50 miles southwest of Grissom and was driving when that thing hit, it was all I could do to get into a parking garage and take shelter. The storm was moving at 70 MPH the last I heard and it moved out pretty quick, there were quite a few trees down on the way home and power was out in most areas.

Hope there's no damage at the museum..same goes for the outdoor aircraft at NMUSAF. But of course, old airplanes are pretty small potatoes compared to those who've lost homes or loved ones. We've got trees and power lines down here in southern Michigan, but so far no reports of injuries or major property damage. We live about a mile from the airport, where a 70 mph gust was recorded.

Everybody please stay safe!

All is reported as OK at the museum.
