It is that time of year

 Tornadoes to the north, tornadoes to the south. Storms and beaucoup winds in between. My hometown got some damage. My best friend and generous owner of a nice pool where we spend many summer weekends found his fence knocked down and a tree uprooted. It takes a strong wind to snap off treated 4x4 posts at the ground. To the south of Indy, Whiteland sustained a direct tornado hit. That community is about 15 miles from where we lived until 2013 when we moved to the north ‘burbs. Storms rolled clear through the south and Midwest. We were safe and I offered prayers of thanks for that. 

The youngest lives very close to the Whiteland area, but his apartment suffered no damage, cyclonic or wind. 

The wife and I missed much of the storm. We were down the road arguing with this witch who was trying to take our nieces’ little dog.

What's the best defense against flying monkeys?

There was an EF-2 in New Haven that came close enough to the kids' place to uproot a tree nearby and broke out one of the support posts on their front porch. Their house is probably about 500 yards from the track I saw on the NWS site.
