Midwest tornadoes: 'The sky was just rumbling'
The sky was just rumbling for 20 minutes, the day after a devastating tornado outbreak destroyed his Washington, Illinois, home and dozens of others in several Midwestern states. "I told my wife I've just never heard anything like this in my life."
"Next thing we know,
things are cracking, and glass breaking and furniture came around the
corner, missed us even though it came down the hallway where we were,
"I think my attitude was
in the next minute and a half, we're either going to be in heaven, we're
going to be in the hospital or we're going to walk out of here.
Completely in the Lord's hands which one of those three things was going
to happen," he said.
The storm that destroyed
Bucher's home was part of a multi-state outbreak of tornadoes and
powerful winds Sunday that caused damage in several states, including
Missouri, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Six people died in Illinois and two men were killed in Michigan,
according to authorities. As many as 200 people were injured through
Illinois, officials said. Some 120 of those injuries came in Washington,
said Jon Monken, director of the Illinois Emergency Management Agency.
Seven of those injuries were "traumatic," Monken said.
