Several twisters in my area Wednesday

We had a really nasty storm come through here Wendesday afternoon. The town of Williamsville just north of Springfield was hit hard and just happens to be where I went to high school, so I know the area well.

Anybody who's interested... info and some amazing pics from the NWS site is below. The tracks you can see in the overhead pictures are the Union Pacific / Amtrak line that runs between Chicago & St. Louis. There was no damage to the tracks or railroad equipment to my knowledge.

Lots of 60+ DBZ coloring in a lot of those radars. That didn't sound too pretty.
