It is SO strange I did not hear of this!! I do recall bad thunderstorms, but not this. I feel kinda stupid as I try to stay connected to that area. You are so near my "old" home. Belleville - 7 years. I moved away one year ago. My therapist also lives/works in a nearby city, and normally tells me this sort of stuff by email. (We still do therapy by phone as I have moved to the West coast)
How scary and exciting and awful - all at once. I have lived all over the USA and in Asia and Europe - and the weather in Southern Illinois was by far the most bizarre, and violent, I have experienced. I do not miss the steamy 100 degree+ summers, but I do miss the place terribly for other reasons.
I need to go look at your link, too. Isn't weather amazing and humbling?
Take care of that place for me, okay...;-)
