A post mortum on the line will probably show that someone scraped it sometime back.

As far as a tornado goes, they truely do rumble like a freight train, and don't stop rumbling. Last year one passed within a 1/4 mile from my place. Got home from work and was on the phone with Mom, and it looked nasty out. Kept going to the door and looking at at the world's slowest moving redish-green clouds and kept hearing the sirens going off. Big hail started, then went to dead calm. OH-OH, I knew what that meant, and that wasn't good. Then the house timbers started cracking and popping from suction and the wind picked up and turned into a ground shaking rumble. Just like they say, a freight train. The little place I rent in Joliet during the work week has no basement, so not much can do. Was pretty eery. Went outside afterwards and didn't see anything but some broken tree limbs. Next morning drove the work truck down the hill, was like driving through Beruit Lebanon. Missing homes, roofs, like a bowling alley. A few years ago, one went through nearby Plainfield. Was on the ground for 11 miles at 3/4 mile wide. Oddest thing ever saw off of Rt30, a farm house in the middle of it's path, roof and external walls gone, but internal walls still standing, clock and pictures still hanging on the walls. Go figure.
