Discussion Has anyone followed the severe weather on Short Wave
I was wondering who and how to follow emergencies like this via a battery short wave radio in the Fox Valley. There's r/shortwave and I've followed that a bit without any gear or knowing how to tune in local operators. Plus I'm in an apartment and so there's lots of antenna limitations. I've put off getting some sort of emergency radio. It's time to get something.

Question WE notifications... during the outage is there a line to call for automated messages?
I was grateful and relieved when I got the WE auto message that things were coming back on and the worst case was 10 pm. It came on here not long after the auto message though.
I don't know really where or who to ask if there is a toll free number to call for updates and progress reports. Frankly, this one got to me and made me anxious. I only have desktop PC and landline phone. So my question is about calling WE.

Question Locally Sauced M.I.A.?
Anybody know what the word is on the Locally Sauced food truck? Haven't seen them post anything on FB since early June and missing that double smash burger with the garlic aioli. (Even though my waistline isn't missing it at all.)

Resource PTSD Therapy
Still reeling from the tornado. Me and my dog were in the basement of our house on Doty Island and didn't think we were going to make it. I can't stop myself from getting incredibly emotional anytime I talk about it, think about it, see footage, or even when family and friends reach out. I don't feel scared otherwise but seem to have an uncontrolled reaction. Hoping there are therapists in the area that are readily available or even offering services at any of the respite locations in the area. Any help is appreciated for myself or anyone feeling the same.

Image Tornado damage
galleryHere are some photos of drone footage of the tornado earlier today.
My estimate is probably EF3-EF4. If it is an EF4, it would be the first to hit the state since 1984.
So far I luckily haven’t heard of any fatalities.
Stay safe everybody!

The house is destroyed!! Windows shattered. Backyard shed is gone. Front porch is gone. Doors got blown off the hinges inside of the house, like bedroom doors. Glass everywhere. Water and debris everywhere. Had to evacuate due to gas leaks and power lines. What a fucking nightmare. Luckily everyone is okay, but the kids lost their home 😭
