If you want to have some fun, watch the weather channel for thunderstorms around the Rochelle Ill area. Then next go to this site, weather.noaa.gov/radar/national.html <br /> <br />Click on any of these local radars, Chicago,Milw,or the Quad cities area. Watch these radars from time to time an when they show a orange or red dots, this indicates really good t-storms. <br /> <br />When the t-storms are in the area, go to the Rochelle web site. Because of the 3-5 second hold on the camera, it will freeze the frame for 3-5 seconds. I have seen many a lightning streak/strike near or at the diamonds. If your lucky you can catch a train passing thru, it sorta turns things to daylight!! Pretty cool! <br /> Tim <br /> <br />BTW For those that are not familar with the area, follow the red line south from Rockford until it crosses a e/w line, that the location of Rochelle. The red lines are the freeway system. <br /> <br />
