    Don’t get me started. When my wife and I moved into our condo in Fitchburg,Massachusetts the very day we moved in we ended up being under a tornado warning because of a storm cell that showed rotation over Gardner-9 miles to the west of us! Ink not even dry on the mortgage yet and already we have to worry about storm damage!!
    That same day earlier a tornado had struck Springfield-the tornado had touched down west of the Connecticut River and then started churning its way east!

    Yup. Batavia had a close call with one back in 1996 when it briefly touched down near Randall Road and lifted just outside city limits. Kane County was ripped a new one because there was no warning!
    This is footage from a couple of months back.

    There was a long track tornado reported near the Iowa/Missouri state line. Tingley must’ve been right in the path!

    My mother lives in the Millpond subdivision right off of Randall Road. When the 96 tornado touched down,had it stayed on the ground her home would’ve been in the direct path!! Luckily at that time my mother was out of town on vacation (I had dropped her off at the airport the very day before) but I was certainly there!:eek:

    Is Millpond the area on the west side of Randall Rd just south of the fair grounds ?
