Inland Hurricane in Southern Illinois!

What the hell was it? Although there were funnel cloud's spotted in the sky's...they did not touch down...therefore Not a Tornado! The National Weather Service is calling it ..A Inland Hurricane!!

Here is just a (small taste) of the damage that Southern Illinois suffered from...There are over 66,000 people in the area without power. Utility pole's were snapped like toothpick's! Thousands and thousands of tree's down on power line's.People will be in the dark for a while ..I'm afraid.Damage is great to homes,cars and everything else.

There are at this time 3 deaths I know of from this storm. One in Carbondale died of a head injury.And 2 others died in Poplar Bluff Missouri when a tree fell on the victim's car,the car caught fire and they were trapped.

There were winds from 98mph-106mph recorded in Southern Illinois.

Oh..Btw I had to do some of that Audio Swap Shit..And I realize the song runs out before the video..But ..What the hell I liked the song so I kept it anyway... :D Beside's that is what I am known for ... imperfections!

Anywho! You get the idea! *Winks*

I first used the song by White snake ( Rock you like a hurricane)and it was perfect!! But It broke the copyright rules.Darn it!

Well we all now know that the official word for the storm is Derecho... Spanish for Straight (as in straight line winds). There were funnel clouds spotted in this storm and at least one is believed to have touched down. So long and good riddance 2009!

I lived in Sparta when it happen and my wife went with a friend to carbondale. I was watching the radar when it just missed us and they were about to head home. It was a good thing i was watching the radar because they were going to come back and I told them to stay. They were at arby's in a freezer when it hit. They could have been in their car
