    F yeah I'm affected!!!! Im west bound with 20k in the box.... I #### near got blown over at mm76 in IL... I got off at exit 75 and parked. There are 2 trucks blown over on the I-39 near/at I-80. The Flying J at exit 77 has no power... The power lines are blown down and there are tree limbs in the middle of the interstate. A camper is blown over at the 60 mm on 80 west. The winds have calmed some since I parked 36 mins ago... But still being rocked pretty hard.

    It went from perfectly calm and 90 degrees to OMG my ### is trying to eat the seat and 75 degrees in about 1.5 miles. The wind was hammering my truck so hard I thought the drivers window was going to break. I saw body panels ripped off of the truck in front of me about .5 seconds before the wind pinned me over to the hammer lane.

    Thats what I was thinking... But I cant find anything that talks of tornados on the weather... They are calling it a "derecho" with hurricane force winds.
