There were 2 different tornadoes in the city limits last night (although I'm sure you know that by now).
March 13, 200620 yr My BIL and his family live right outside Springfield in Sangamon county (when I looked online this morning, there was mention of a tornado touchdown there, but not sure where in Sangamon county is touched down). At this point, no news is good news.
March 13, 200620 yr We got it in Springfield; Lord did we get it. Luckily I only lost a huge trunk section of our backyard climing tree that barely missed the house. My corner of town though, dang - it looks like a weather channel feature story. Our paper, State Journal Register, has photos that could say more then I could. You are always awestruck at scenes of natural destruction, but when it is a place with landmarks from your own life, its different - in an indescribable "this is but isn't reality" kind of way. The weird thing - after we went to my inlaws to sleep after we couldn't trust the rest of the tree - the sirens went off again at 2:00, and I swear when one of them would turn towards us it sounded like an harp or something. It was eerie. Thank God nobody lost their life. SFF Edited March 13, 200620 yr by SpringfieldFan

Yeha the second sirens went off and i didnt hear it at first then they drove police cars through my neighborhood waking everyone up.
