These once were all over my hometown growing up around here in Lombard Il.I saw the one in Hinsdale.This is my friend Scott Vargos Home 11 years ago.He has since sold it.

Neat report. I believe there are a few of those here in the Rockford area as well.

I recall it hailing really hard one day in '86,when I was @ the Lustron home that my friend owned here.It was coming down & sideways,and boy was it loud..He just smiled and said,relax.
