Their brand-new house had a saferoom but no door on it yet; they were protected within it. “We never really heard the house coming apart,” Bill told the governor. “It just sounded like our deck furniture was blowing, scooting around. We thought, ‘Huh, we may not come out ot this too bad!’,” he continued. But they exited the safetoom at the bottom of the house to find that the rest of the dwelling was in ruins. (Sun-Times photo)
