Where were you guys camping? We had a storm very much like that hit us at 7:00am on Thursday here just south of Amboy, IL. Was watching the storm on radar and TV and when the announcer said that the storm was hitting Sterling/Rockfalls with wind gusts of 70MPH, I decided we needed to at least put up the awning. Storm hit like 30 seconds after I got it done. Like idiots, we didn't go to a shelter, but sat and watched the wind and rain from the comfort of our living room. It was interesting to watch white caps form on the little pond outside our front door.
