They can go **** themselves, I saw the damn thing with my own eyes, as did many other cops and firefighters when that thing came ripping into town.

I'll upload my video.

where in monee do you live? I have friends that live on Bruns rd. and they said it touched down on their street. Some trees were blown over but nothing major. (quarter mile south west of harlem and monee manhattan) The fiance's parents live about a quarter mile north of the same intersection on harlem, and thankfully they had no damage.

I slept right through it, but went through Matteson and Richton Park on Sunday afternoon on the bikes, then Park Forest to check on my brother's house. We saw the apartment complex that got hit ,and then one of the warehouses my company just built got hit pretty bad. I was supposed to transfer there in a few weeks, but it looks like that is not going to happen now.
