Smaug, your header lists northern Illinois as your location, now go look at how many large industrial plants are near you that have hazardous chemicals, and how many rail road tracks and highways that run past your home or near enough up wind that a major issue MIGHT occur where you were being forced from your home on man made reasons. Look at nuke power plants too.


This is what scares a lot of people., not just a tornado or hurricane, but lets say Terrorists manage to detonate a bomb on a barge on the mississippi carrying some chemical that goes airborne? or some engineer on the RR falls asleep or is busy texting his GF and drives his 110 rail cars of chlorine, propane and phosphates into a stalled commuter. Getting pushed out of your home is really a lot more likely from something like this than most people who live on the coasts are getting hit with a storm.
