I "think" that was the storm on Sunday. The wall cloud came across in front
of our house. I grabbed the kids and took them out on the front porch to
see it. Like your daughter, my son Nick just said coooool....
I remember watching all the red move across the screen on the weather
channel, glad that I had managed to leave on Friday, ahead of the stuff
that hit on Saturday and Sunday.
These are the experiences that separate one OSH from the next. I
can't tell you what year I saw the Concorde at OSH -- but I *can* tell
you what year my tent blew down... ;-)
My kids will ALWAYS remember (1) the year we ran back from the Charcoal
Pit with Jack Allison (and others) into a warm rain storm that fell so
hard we could barely breathe, and (2) the storm pictured in these
photos, where we literally had to lay on our air mattress and brace the
windward side of the tent with our feet in order to hold it up.
It's a strange thing with humans: Bad things that don't kill us (or
hurt us badly) are always remembered fondly, given enough distance.
