I was about a block away in a house on Frederick St. One corner of the house was ripped out, and the roof was lifted off and dropped back on. Don't remember most of it, even though I was awake and conscious.

That was an F5 and I lived about 5 miles north of the path and didn't see any damage where I lived.

I can remember this dominating the airtime on local newscasts. Pretty obvious why.

What F rating did they give this? I remember this happening, but don't remember what rating was given to this tornado. Maybe F-4?

My grandpa and I went to the church a fews days after and took a few pieces of stained glass that was on the ground. I still have it in my bedroom.

Nice thick midwestern accent, haircut and shorts loser! Haha I grew up in Plainfield a few years after the tornado. All the kids I grew up with would start to cry and piss their pants whenever it would start to rain! What a bunch of pussies!!
