What are some of worst weather you have been in?

46. See my #43. I was in a western Cleveland suburb then.

Normally, we could see Interstate 90 from our back windows, but visibility was so bad that all we could see were bobbing lights in a row going down to the highway. They were rescuers, roped together in a line to rescue people stranded in cars. They handed them along the roped line of rescuers to waiting snowmobiles to get them to a shelter.

Churches and schools opened up as shelters. People donated food and blankets.

My husband and I were safe at home all day. Since it hit us in the western suburbs around 4 am, we had been unable to get out anywhere and just stayed put. I remember being awakened by the wind and looking out the window to see a row of evergreen saplings flapping parallel to the ground. Then a cracking sound as the top of a maple tree broke and was carried away in the wind.
