In 1977 I took a trip to Phillips, Wi to hunt beer cans.  As I approached Phillips I noticed that the trees in the entire area were lierally flatttened.  I had never and have never seen anything close to that scene  I asked the area folks what had happened and they told me a wind came through the area earler, on July 4th and leveled the entire forests in the area for  about  5 by 14 miles with that area as epicenter.

At the time little  was known about downblasts of that sort.  .

Bill, I would think a hero cheer dad should get a significant discount from here on out from the cheer coach that will be eternally grateful for you saving her son.  Just saying!  :)

If you thought Boise State's field was obnoxious, a small college in Belleville, Ill., is putting the Smurf turf to shame. The Lindenwood University-Belleville will have its first football sea...

Here is a true story of a motorcycle ride to Chernobyl, written by a young Russian lady who is the daughter of a Rusian scientist.
 
I first saw this story several years ago on the internet .  It so fascinated me that I searched the internet and located the story again.  I am forwarding to you in the event that some may wish o read all or parts of it.
