Tornados hit around my city this afternoon. The destruction was pretty bad--whole subdivisions lost, a swath of damage miles long, one man killed in his basement by his falling chimney. But it could have been worse:
The roof was torn off the Stoughton Country Club, said the club's executive chef, Lenny Peaslee. As the storm approached, golfers started coming off the course, and about 40 people huddled in the club's basement and waited, he said.
"We were ... hiding behind the bar," Peaslee said. "We had beer, anyway."

I saw that quote too. Makes us cheddarheads look like... well, cheddarheads I guess. LOL.
Put that with the fact you have in today's blog about UW-Madison being the number one party school, (I'm sure they put that awesome statistic on all their recruitment literature!) and it really makes it look like a great place to live, eh?
