It's the news, I used to have the kitchen TV on while I was getting ready for work, same Rockford Ill. station every day. One morning the weather guy was standing in an intersection in 2 inches of snow dressed like he was in Siberia preaching gloom and doom. I'm 25 miles west in the same 2 inches of snow and that's all we got. Every thing on that station is "you won't see this on any other station or you seen it here first" I don't watch it anymore. I never used to pay any attention to storms coming though, it never happened to me, until a Sunday afternoon in 1999, wife was working, I was baby sitting for the kids eight and eleven. I was out in my shop doing something and my daughter comes in and says I ought go out and look at the sky, don't look right. She was right and we took a run for the house, told the kids to hit the basement and ran upstairs to close windows, I came out of our bedroom and ran about 3 steps down stairs when part of a cattle shed roof came through the upstairs, made it to the basement and hung on. Plaster dust was hard to breath down there. That was close, I'm pretty gun shy since when the sky clouds up. Only wall in the house that wasn't damaged was a bathroom, upstairs was destroyed, roof lifted, every tree in the yard had tin stuck in it or the top blown off, south side of house had sheets of tin just riveted in to the wall. The tin and purlins that didn't hit the house were either stuck in the highway bank or on the road or in the neighbors corn field, was a laminated round truss about 10x4 inches on the roof, the rest of them were down in the pasture. Don't want to do that again, glad my daughter was paying attention. Only thing remotely funny about it was my wife used to buy ear rings all the time and she kept them on the little shelves on each side of the dresser mirror plus the top of dresser, you couldn't take a step in any direction around the house with out finding an earring after the storm.
