An eyewitness says:

"It was pretty freakin' real when all the dogs started barking right before it hit, then EVERYTHING shook. We were in the field just outside the barn & the barn continued to shake for a couple minutes afterward. We are about 50-60 miles or so from where it hit."

Excellent find then. Thanks for posting it.

The Blob/ Scared the hell out of me. They have ‘Blobfest” in Boyertown Pa in the original movie theater that the people ran out of. They recreate the mob stampede every year.

Yah...it was a good movie for the times. It got my adrenaline going, for sure! Especially when the old man played with it. I knew then the movie was going to have less folks in it at the end than it did at the beginning!

Odd. I would have expected a local FReeper to beat any news service.

I don't know. Sometimes digging yourself out of the rubble is a real bee-otch.

I really need to get a bigger monitor.

[bigheadfred]

Ha. Like a 15 year old can monitor me.

Whoops! Thanks KoRn!

I probably have posted that (Chicago and Peshtigo fires caused by space debris), now that you mention it. I think the author of a book about it was from Michigan.

I wish I’d asked the remaining relatives old enough to remember that year about this, but (alas) I never got around to it.
