YEah WHen I lived in Decatu, Ill in 1996 with My Bio Mom
We had a State of Emergency Declared...
It was pretty intense
But hey
At least I got to shake Hillary Clinton's Hand
That Was COOL
April 19, 1996, is that the one you're talking about Cristi? The week Decatur got hit twice in a row....I remember that. Where I lived was spared by about 20 miles. Heck, I remember riding with my parents down IL48 to see the damage after that.
I DO remeber all the Uppity in breds actualy had these Trailers they would Fix up to look like houses
and the poorer folks had actually Houses near the Actual "town"
Anyway these guys were WIPED OUT
Menawhile the only Damage my family suffered was a Power outage
I thought it was Pure Irony ..
I saw a Funnel head go over me to when I was hangin with friend Before the Initila Dmage..
Humbling indeed
