Hopefully the Chevette museum was untouched.

If it’s not sinkholes, it’s tornados.
To: Paul R.
If that's the same place that got zapped by a sinkhole a few years ago they should have a priest come out to exorcise it.

Agreed.
Stud like that is more along the lines of what we here in Tornado Alley (Okla.) experience. Doesn’t seem normal at all for it to happen in IL

This is in Effingham, Illinois, the Corvette Museum that fell in a sinkhole is in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It’s still there and open today.
To: Paul R.
That area is getting pounded by storms again today.

Why put irreplaceable artifacts in anything less than an indestructible building?

The sinkhole happened at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky, I believe. The place referred to in this story is a Corvette/VW parts business.
