WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Wow, I have never seen as much rain as I saw on Monday. It poured for about four hours, and there was a tornado warning. I was back in Rockford for the weekend and there was an intersection that looked like a lake, there were three cars stuck with water up to the windows! The fire department was going around in boats picking up people who were stranded. My basement got some water, but that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went out to dinner tonight, and sat near a window at the rear of the restraunt. In the middle of the meal, I got up to go the bathroom at the front of the restaurant, and noticed it was pouring outside the front doors. When I returned to my seat, I looked outside again, and the pavement was clearly dry. It wasn't raining at the back of the restaurant. The skies were dark, but for about 5 minutes, it was only raining on half of the building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwritecode Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I got to drive through some of it coming home from camping. There was just enough of a break in the weather for us to get packed up and head home. Then we got home just in time to hear the sirens go off for the tornado warning.

Steve9347 Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 ive got a lot of friends back home in ROCKFORD... looks like it stayed on the west side of the rock river, where they do not reside... however, its kind of sad seeing all of this happen in the ol' stompin' grounds.
