Subject: RE: BS: Art in Peru-- tornado close but we fine
Lasalle-Peru and Utica are grand places. I've been there several times, and I'm glad you're okay, Art.
I've lived through more tornadoes than I care to count. I once bicycled through one that passed over the town during my ride home; not an experience I'd care to repeat (and wouldn't have done in the first place if I'd known about it before I started). Yes, I got wet. I got very, very, very wet. And I was wearing one of those god-awful nylon shirts, so I was very, very uncomfortable as well as wet.
There's nothing to do but take cover. As a point of interest, tornadoes have touched down in every State (except perhaps Hawai'i).
Do what you can to help the survivors, Art, and keep you head down. I hope that the Chicago developers don't get even a toehold!
