How did the park fare during the tornado warning yesterday? Hope there wasn't too much damage.

Sounds like all the damage was to the west and north of the park, and on to the northeast of Rochelle.

Considering that's how tornadoes typically move, from the Southwest to the Northeast if one touches down just trace a couple lines from the touchdown point in a triangle shaped window and that can tell you where you could see damage. Of course one can move a little more north or east then others, but this is just the TYPICAL movement of twisters. I had a weather phase for a while growing up... :lol:

Couldn't stand all the foamers freaking out about the darn webcam the other night. "NO! NOT the WEBCAM!!"

Don't you think you should be hoping/praying for the people in the ground, not some easily replaceable object that allows you to view trains from wherever you are.

Priorities, people!
