Thanks for posting, I was watching TWC (Rockford, IL) I was playing on my Ipod, then the EAS comes on (which scared the fucking shit out of me) and grabbed my sister and mom down the stairs. Then, my brother comes downstairs with heated pizza, I say "What the hell are you doing with pizza" he says "It's my last meal", uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. My dad comes downstairs (blameless because, at store) until it was all over. Finally, after we came upstairs, we learned about the destruction in Joplin.
that was the craziest storm I was ever in, i live up by cycle m in machesney park and we got hit really hard up there. My house has no basement so my dog and my wife who at the time was 3 months pregnant were taking cover in a closet. The house across the street from mine had 2 trees uprooted out of the ground and leaning against the house, i got lucky my car didnt get smashed and cycle m took a lot of damage too

I got kinda pissed we didnt get hit up here in Janesville. We got our share on July 11th though
i remember this one time my house got hit by the gust front but the rain missed us
Yeah, i live in Janesville and I swear we never get anything.
I'll be going to Rock Cut State Park in October
Was this before or after the Joplin tornado that day?
I heard your name, did you work at that station at the time?
Lost power from this storm.....

DiNolfi it might be it sounds like the ones we have in Omaha NE
