"It was a dark and stormy night..."

Yes, it was. We didn't really get anything here other than a little rain and a fantastic light show high up in the southern sky, but places west of us were hit hard.

Heard this morning that 18 tornadoes touched down in Wisconsin last night. In the town of Viola, 80 to 90 houses were destroyed; about 30 were flattened in Stoughton.

During dinner, at about 7:30, our 8-yo son said, "What's that coming down from the sky?"

"Probably a leaf, honey," said I.
"But mom, it's blue, and kind of squarish, and coming down sort of like a kite" (here he demonstrated a twirling sort of motion with his hands).

It wasn't until about 9:00, watching the news, that I realized he probably saw some debris from the tornadoes coming down.

A woman just a mile or so south of us found an intact utility bill in her yard -- from Stoughton.

A man found a photograph of an unidentified woman in his yard. Others found tar paper and shingles.

There's nothing in our yard today. Whatever came down yesterday must have blown eastward again.
