The night we got the call for the adoption of our son, a tornado touched down just two miles from us near Rochelle, IL. The power was out, so I had to drive into Rockford to get online to get my wife’s airplane tickets ordered. Just west of Chicago is pure tornado alley. Belvidere, IL seems to get hit bad every couple of years.

The people of Belvedere Illinois must cringe every time there’s a tornado warning, for an April day in 1967 changed their lives, and ended some.

The Belvedere Tornado is still talked about.

I was born and raised in Rockford;I now live in northeast Oklahoma. We had every bit as many tornado warnings in Illinois as we do here in “tornado alley”.
