MILESTONES<\/strong><\/p>\n

Happy Birthday to<\/strong> \u2026 Thursday, May 19:<\/em> Lissa Massa<\/strong> (actress\/producer, A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO HELL), Gerry Kissell<\/strong> (writer\/artist, Vindicated, Inc.<\/span>) \u2026 celebrate!<\/strong><\/p>\n

20 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Friday, May 10, 1996:<\/em> Warner Bros.<\/strong> releases the action film TWISTER<\/strong>, directed by Jan de Bont<\/strong> and starring Bill Paxton<\/strong> and Helen Hunt<\/strong>, which becomes the second highest grossing release of that year in the United States<\/strong> and Canada<\/strong> after INDEPENDENCE DAY<\/strong>. Many communities across the nation probably did not feel so enthusiastic about the movie because, less than a month before on the evening of Friday, April 19<\/strong>, an extremely volatile storm system produced dozens of tornadoes in the central Midwest and the South. More than 30 funnel clouds were reported in Illinois<\/strong> alone and two of the strongest, rated at the \u201cF3\u201d category, caused serious damage in southwest Urbana<\/strong> and nearly destroyed the small town of Ogden<\/strong>. Amazingly, the only person killed in those Champaign County<\/strong> incidents was a Missouri<\/strong> woman traveling on I-74<\/strong> near Ogden, according to a CNN<\/strong> report<\/a><\/span> at the time. A chronological chart of the unfolding weather disaster from that night can be found on Wikipedia<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, an illustrated analysis of why the storm behaved as it did can be reviewed in this report<\/a><\/span> filed by the UIUC Department of Atmospheric Sciences<\/strong>, a compilation of police and storm chaser video that depicts the tornadoes and aftermath can be viewed at The News-Gazette<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span>, and storm-by-storm information can be studied at The Tornado History Project<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, an on-line database of confirmed sightings in the United States that is designed and maintained by Joshua Lietz<\/strong> of Urbana. In the present, dearest readers should refresh themselves on tornado safety every spring by consulting the National Weather Service<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and other trusted agencies; informed protocol will help save lives way<\/em> more readily than quoting dialogue from TWISTER<\/strong> while on the run, we imagine.<\/p>\n

FLICKER OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whereas the above item recalls the tendencies of Mother Nature to randomly tear down our walls, we rebound with a \u201cFOW<\/strong>\u201d championing the human desire to build back up those singular architectural marvels we hold near and dear. The Save the Lorraine Foundation<\/strong>, named after the Lorraine Theatre<\/strong> in downtown Hoopeston<\/strong>, has worked hard the past few years to raise funding for the movie palace\u2019s restoration and re-opening as a vibrant community hub; we recently learned they would love<\/em> to share the \u201cLorraine of old\u201d one final time with customers past and future before the serious clean-up efforts begin! The Foundation will host a \u201cLast Call\u201d open house at the Lorraine tomorrow, Sat., May 14<\/strong>, from 11 a.m.<\/strong> to 4 p.m.<\/strong>, during which attendees can view the auditorium and lobby in their long-standing 1937 art deco glory. Members will also talk about their partnership with the specialists of FreeSky Studios<\/strong> in Springfield<\/strong>, who have been mapping the interior in recent weeks and will help the Foundation achieve their goals of removing the vintage decoration, cleaning and sealing the building, and installing a mix of old and new adornments. If the movie-going environments of early 20th century theaters interest you at all, it might be worth a trek to Hoopeston where you can pay respects to one of the few remaining venues of its kind in downstate Illinois<\/strong> before the facelift is applied. For whatever reason, the Foundation is not also running a movie at their Little Lorraine<\/strong> storefront space located a short walk from the Lorraine proper, as it might have provided hometown and out-of-town visitors alike with a nice all-day experience. Then again, maybe a community relations bullet has been knowingly dodged since DEADPOOL<\/strong> is their next scheduled flick\u2026<\/p>\n
