That was an F1, and it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. An F5 is unfathomable. On the 30th anniversary of the May 15 '68 outbreak, KWWL showed a video of the F5. Just this big wedge coming out of the sky. The picture in the paper my dad saved had 3 tornados. QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 11:56 AM) Iowa is a great place to raise kids. Some people like the peace and quiet. It's a farming state and will always be a farming state, but someone has to do it. That's what the midwest is noted for I suppose. People badmouth it, but it really is a great place.

Again, I look at something like this and how it messed up the place, and then I remember my hometown was hit by an F5 in '68. If this is amazing, then that would have had to be beyond words.

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Apr 14, 2006 -> 08:54 AM) What is sort of amusing in this (nothing amusing about the damage at all), is that I saw these reports this morning when I was getting ready for work, and the first thing that popped into my head was, "Heads will have a thread up on this by the time I get to work." I certainly hope everyone is OK. Looks like IC got it pretty bad, but I haven't heard of any fatalities yet. No fatalities in Iowa City. 1 in Nicholls. I know probably at leasst 30 people I went ot high school with that are in Iowa City. They showed a clip of a piece of wood stuck in a concrete wall. Damn.

QUOTE(ShoeLessRob @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 05:29 PM) Agree, I don't expect him to throw with a low 2 ERA or 90 k's but the guy seems to be coming together and seems to be in his own now, hope he has a solid year. If he can be a one inning guy, or even two innings, with an ERA under 3.75, it's more than we could have asked. He throws serious heat from the left side.

So, I guess Borchard kinda paid off...

Moved the date back to Friday.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 04:23 PM) That's excellent, Alex. Hysterical. Actually had me laughing out loud. If I keep improving at this rate, I'll make the best sigs on the site by 2078. I plan on outliving you all.

And Vazzy to the mound next. I'm feelin' good.

I think a slam ties it.

Gamecast seems to show Matt hammering the strike zone. Nice to see.

So, if Logan gives up a run if he comes in by any chance, can I call him B.Lowagain?

Friggin minefield.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) Pretend this is the military... we ain't asking so don't be tellin'. Well to you.

QUOTE(Steff @ Apr 13, 2006 -> 02:58 PM) And babe. Hmm.... Slam and Babe.....reminds me of my night last night.

Um. I guess that works, Scott.

Rowand, glad to see we're on the same wavelength here.
