[QUOTE="Lil, post: 651979, member: 17309"] Yeah...not really. Tornado season is pretty much any time in the spring. So no, you didn't miss it. But you're probably pretty safe. They're not common on the east side of the state. I mean, they're not [I]common[/I] anywhere - but more likely on the prairie and to the west. We have basements! :confused: I don't know where you'd get that idea. I mean, not everyone has one; depends on the terrain - you can't put a basement in bedrock after all, and cost - cheap builders may not put basements - but lots of people have basements. Just go to an interior room without windows if a siren goes off; if it's an apartment building, there out to be one. Like I said though, not something people really worry about, especially on the east side of the state. You know, we are only the next state over. lol! St. Louis and Chicago are less than 300 miles apart. You can drive from Jefferson County from Chicago in probably 5 hours. :D It's not like there's never been a tornado in Illinois - even in Chicago! MIZZOU - I don't know why. o_O I just don't know where these generalities come from. We have two football teams! Of course, Jabber is a Cowboy's fan...not Rams or Chiefs. But lots of people are football fans. Maybe not as aggressively fanatic as Da' Bears. :D You give us a call. Jabber can be there in 2-3 hours and kick his butt! In all seriousness, I hope you have a nice visit! [/QUOTE]
