We was through there about 8 PM last night when we came out of IA on I-80, I-74 and picked up I-57 South near Kankakee. Since it was just about dark I did not notice any damage from the interstate. We stopped south of Kankakee for gas and to eat but there was no talk of a storm at the truck stop. The weather report did indicate a very limited area but it may indicate storm season is getting underway in the Central/Midwest US.

Just talked with State Farm Claims in Joliet...this will be handled by local reps with nothing else to do...everyone be patient, the staffers are getting the work for now, but our cheese is still left to be cut?!?
