...nice area. If I keep this up I may have to move back there...getting a little "homesick."

:D :hi:

One storm story I'll never forget...we had gone up to Chicago for a small vacation and as we were tooling around town we had the radio on. The station had a report about a tornado hitting Indy and it mentioned the Castleton area by name. Talk about sheer panic. We cut our trip short (like we immediately went back to the hotel and packed our bags) and went home ASAP. Sure enough, there was some minor damage about two blocks up from us but a lot more damage closer to 86th and Westerfield. Church had a roof almost totally blown off.

Because of Indy I really don't panic now when there's tornado warnings. Just get blankets, the kids, and a radio and head toward the bathroom and hope for the best. Not much more you can do. Mother Nature is bigger'n all of us.
