[BC] Tornado Alley

[Kevin Trueblood]

The Washington, IL tornado came pretty close to a few station transmitter sites.  They all survived, but sounds like they're still running on generators.  

It also came very close to WEEK-TV's studio in East Peoria.  Someone posted the video of the anchors evacuating the studio:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiBIFDLfWCY&feature=youtu.be

As far as coverage, WMBD-AM was simulcast on all the JMP stations in Peoria most of the day and did a fantastic job.
