Captain Slow Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 The twins thought it was a field trip. They were jumping up and down excited. Mama and I were a bit apprehensive. Fortunately we had grabbed the diaper bag and our S H T F bag plus sidearms so we were ready for whatever aftermath we came upstairs to. No damage visible, we didn't even lose power---YAY!!! Sent from my laptop sitting in my lap while I'm sitting in the easy chair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife just beat it home. She told me the next door neighbor was finishing cutting the grass and asked her if the sirens had been going off...they had. They went off twice in a few minutes. You were right about it being dark clouds. That rally got me to get to the basement instead of the usual storm watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGenCoupe Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 See if you lived in Canada you wouldn't have to worry about tornados, just watch out for the moose. Stay safe and keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Slow Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Just wanted to add this: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=lot&storyid=69963&source=0 My wife was going to go to the Downers Grove parking garage to wait it out but I told her the storms were far enough away to get home in time. Had she gone to the parking deck she'd have been with in blocks of it. Plus this storm went directly over our old home down around 75th Street in Woodridge.

Captain Slow Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 Yea thats once in a blue moon we probably have more moose attacks then tornados This reminds me of our friends outside of Thunder Bay. One of their sons had brought home a girl to meet mom and dad. She remarked that though she'd lived there for many years she'd never personally seen a moose at which point our friend said "look at your plate."
