I could have (should have) told you they will get no federal $$ to help them. Why? Because Wisconsin is known as neighbors helping neighbors and as long as we have that help we get no aid. Pathetic! But that's us.

My parents received FEMA money when the floods in Racine destroyed their basement, but not for the basement of their rental property behind them because they (the owners) did not physically live there.

I hope I learned my lesson when the F1 hit Sturtevant and traveled just south of 11 in Racine. I stood outside and watched the clouds swirling, thinking, are those birds in the air, or is that debris?

Next time, to the basement-- whether the sirens are blaring or not! Speaking of that, why do we have such trouble with sirens going off when we need them to? That should be a no-brainer, easy thing to accomplish.

Looking more closely at the pictures... the one where the massive amount of trees are flattened, is Old World Wisconsin. I heard they had a forest full of trees laying on their side and would be closed indefinitely until they could clear it out.

Those pics of downed trees remind me of the Tunguska event - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event

Something like this highlights the brutal power of nature. It took enormous energy to knock down/uproot those trees and destroy those homes. Then we return to our routine lives and slowly forget that we're at the mercy of the atmosphere, and even space (asteroids, meteors). Until the next big event . . .

Those photo's are very similar to the tornado that hit a "berg" up here named Big Flats several years ago. The Big Flats tornado killed two people. I went to see the damage two days after, and I NEVER saw such a crazy site. It's something I NEVER want to experience myself.

They scare me...when I was a kid about 7 or 8, a tornado came through Oconto Falls...I ran into the root cellar with my record player and my brother's winter jacket...sat on the pile of potatoes. Yep, that was where Mom told me to go, so I did. We ended up with minor damage...a window in the door (from the door not being latched properly). An elm tree in the yard..that was all.

I am respectful of a tornado warning!

Reminds me of the damage done by a tornado close by my folk's place Up North. Trees were down and striped bare. Hit a small town of Wolf River. The only thing standing there was the fire station, a cell tower and bar.

I've wondered since being up here, ( and the big ass bad storm we had) Would anyone actually HEAR the sirens if they were to go off?

It's me DA.. can't log in

Toad...I use to have a mobile home in Arkdale. After the storm I drove up there to see the damage and hope nothing happened to my stuff, yes, it was unreal to see.

Quonset hut barns, the tornado “rolled" them across the fields into balls of steel and the huge sprinkler systems, ripped them up and tossed pieces everywhere.

The tornado went right through the populated area, 2 blocks north or south it would have only messed up the forest and the fields verses everyone’s homes and cars.

The tornado in Eagle was classified as an F2.

Orbs, it's so strange you bring up that reference. I was just watching a documentary about Tunguska.. Sorry a bit off subject, but it's just weird, you don't normally hear of it and then I just got two references in one day..

SER: I saw those ball's of steel, and wondered what the heck they were. It was like a scene out of those old Mel Gibson Sci-Fi movies. The corner bar that was moved off it's foundation across the street from where the people were killed was amazing. The fellow that owned the tavern died that morning from a heart attack never to see what happened. What a tragedy.
