Off the rig flying around as if they were sheets of paper. They looked to be 150+ feet in the air.

Everyone's safe and no damage so far and it looks like the worst has moved through. We were down there just a week ago for two weeks dealing with my fiance's father's estate. Gosh, I hate to sound so shallow, but I'm sure glad we were gone before today. If there's karma to catch me for that, no issue- I live in the Chicago area and this same crap will be here soon. =P

Our best wishes to all.
