I live about a mile or two from the town of Utica. I heard the sirens, but had no idea what was happening. The siren didnt sound like an actual siren, but more like a faint whistle. So I was actually standing outside the whole time trying to figure out what was the whistle sound was  .. Pretty dumb on my part. It actually didnt look like tornado weather to me , just a little cloudy .. My house is surrounded by woods and at a higher elevation than utica so I couldnt see the actual funnel clouds. Later on when I looked on Cbs, Nbc, Abc, Fox news I about shit myself. It was supposedly the third worst tornado in the history of Illinois, and i was standing outside a mile awhile from it while it was happening.  I live on the other side of the river from Utica, Ive always heard that tornados arent likely to cross over water. Anyone know if this is true? If not I consider myself very lucky. |
