Sounds like they had quite a storm around Janesville last night.

A year or two ago I had pictures on the blog of a silo in Bob and Lynne's area that has a roof in the form of a large pumpkin.  The pumpkin had blown off in a storm.  They replaced the pumpkin, which is a landmark in that area but last night another storm came through.


Lynne said, "Unbelievable as it was just installed two weeks ago tomorrow. I was up and the trees were blowing but not that bad.  All we lost were two dead branches and lots of twigs and small leafy ones. $35,000 pumpkin and the installers were putting in extra supports. Bob just called and the man who owns the silo said he will go after the installers as they undoubtedly didn't put the extra that was needed to prevent this.  It is a landmark in this area."
