Widespread in the midwest today. Had a weak F1 just a couple miles directly to the east here. This is shaping up to be a fun spring.

Town in Indiana got levelled today. Heard 3 dead so far. Hope that's the extent of it.

Not a good day...

(CNN) -- A powerful severe storm system moved across the United States on Friday, causing at least three apparent tornadoes from Alabama to Indiana and threatening even more destruction as the day wore on.
National Weather Service meteorologist John Gordon reported Friday afternoon the agency has about "half a dozen reports of tornadoes on the ground," as well as reports of "significant damage" -- stressing all the while that the worst may still be to come.

As of 4:50 p.m. ET, the weather service had 22 active tornado warnings out affecting 47 counties, plus five less urgent tornado watches that spanned 12 states.
