Favorite Chicago weather story, Many years ago when the winter triangle was held in a couple of smaller towns in Illinois, I recall a winter when it was cold(very - from a guy out of minnesota) and the wind was really blowing. Stayed in a motel(I think it was the AmericInn) between the show sites. Any how, woke up to get ready for the show, headed outside to go walk dogs. Opened the door in time to watch a portion of the hotel roof come off and crush a Jeep two spots away from where our van was parked. Glass was flying all over the place from the Jeeps windows, I turned around and hollared at the room mates to grab everything, as the remains of roof waved in the wind poised to land on our Van and the other vehicles in the parking lot. We rushed out of room lickity split to get on out of there. As we were backing up in the Van, a couple that must have been in one of the rooms on the upper floor where the roof came off began running down the landing in their scivies carrying there belongings. That was enough for us, we lit up the tires on our way out of there. Boy was that close. Valerie may be able to fill in some of the gaps. M, reminiscing. -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: Edwin Hill <edwinx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > I have a date with Gary S. for the first weekend in February...but if it > doesn't > warm up..I ain't going!...I don't like Gary that much anyway.....as most of > you > know I'm from Oakland...and it does not go down to 8 degrees..and it does not > snow...so Chicago get your weather together or I will stay home!.....FB > > ============================================================================ > POST is Copyrighted 2005.
