March 21, spring started. beautiful weather, blooming flowers, and also spring storms. These storms are windy, destructive, and harsh. All of the kids have to stay inside and do something else other than being outside. On Easter Monday, it was beautiful during the day time. That was until 4:00 p.m .Later that night I believe we had a micro-burst. A micro burst is a mini tornado that doesn't touch the ground, but causes a lot of damage. The storm was all the way in West Chicago. That's about 45 min away! I think this storm was trying to wake us up, so we know its spring. Do you like storms? Do you watch storms from your windows? What is a microburst?
