Boy did we have fun on Fri. night! They were calling for rain, but it didn't look like it was going to. About 10 to 10, the lights went out. I was in the kitchen and walked back into the living room where John and Krista were and the lights were on. I said I thought the lights were out...thinking I'd really lost my mind...and John said they were, but they came back on. He no more than said that, and the lights went out again. I have a Cyper Power thing for the computers and they were all beeping, so I was feeling my way to shut them off and going upstairs to the other computer to shut it off. I heard John saying something about winds, so when I got downstairs, I looked out too. I don't know how trees were standing up. Next thing you know, the tornado sirens were going off and we were grabbing dog and I grabbed my purse and we headed to the basement. The rain was pelting down by then too. Here's a link to one paper;

Here's the county paper. On the page there, is what's left of Festival 56's stage downtown at Solders and Sailors Park.

My dad wanted to check out how the office building was on Sat. morning. To get there, it's easiest for him to get there by going down Thompson St. He said it was bumper to bumper traffic! In Princeton! LOL Only time it's bumper to bumper here, is when there's a train and it's cleared the tracks. Cars are backed up because it's something like a coal train, so it takes a while for traffic to get going. We took a ride on Sat. and I got some pictures.

This house sustained the worst damage in town that I know of.
