Robert writes, "While I was checking out the Church building in Elbe, and my back was turned away from this locomotive, the conductor decided to give a blast on the horn! I would have appreciated it if the conductor would have said, 'Hey Robert, I'm getting ready to lay on the horn...'

I'm pretty sure I left part of my life behind in Elbe that day. It wasn't just me that got a jolt, there was a little girl standing near the entrance that nearly jumped out of her skin."

Kat writes, "When it finally slowed down at dark, this was left. We lost 2 giant trees, patio furniture strewn, and tree tops on neighbor's house. There was no warning and radar showed a light green space over our location."
