But with all the houses down, there just have to be people trapped underneath there." Dillon himself had to cut away a section of a garage with a handsaw to free the son of a friend who was trapped underneath a fallen roof. Cindy Koons, down the way, lay on top of her son as her house disappeared around her.

"It was hell," she said. "It was hailing the size of softballs. All of a sudden I heard a rush, like a train. I yelled at my son to hit the floor in the hallway. Then I ran on top of him.

Then the house collapsed on top of us. "I have no house left. No car. No trees. I have a yard." Maureen Scott, who was babysitting for five children at a home just off Plainfield Road, knew something was wrong Tuesday when it got dark.

"Things kept on hitting the house," she said. "At one point the table flew across the kitchen. I knew we had to get out of there." As she and the kids rushed to the basement, the house collapsed around them. "The kids were hysterical. Everything came crashing down," she said, sobbing.

"I had my car parked in front of the house. My car is gone. I don't know where it is." She and the children suffered only cuts and bruises, she said. But the storm "seemed to last forever." "People tell me a tornado sounds like a train. But I never heard a train.

She died anyway, before help could arrive. Dawn Almon, who lives in a 100-year-old home at 710 Ottawa was watching her two young-children on the porch with a friend when the storm hit "The kids were looking at the hail when I sent them upstairs to close some windows," she said. "When I realized what was happening, I called them down and pushed them down the basement stairs. Just then, an antique china cabinet fell on me and knocked me down the stairs.

It was all over in 25 seconds, that fast." When it was over, people gathered in disbelief outside what had been their homes, as others dug through debris with their hands to save neighbors trapped inside their homes. At Plainfield High School, frightened football players, who had run in from practice, watched the school collapse around them from an interior hallway. Elsewhere in the building, employees crammed into a central cinder-block vault, as the storm bore down. Alice Stone, 33, the assistant superintendent of finance for the district, was lucky she made it inside and sustained only a broken wrist and a sore shoulder. In the Lily Cache subdivision of Plainfield, LeRoy Daughters had been through the ordeal before.

Six years ago, a tornado roared through his neighborhood, demolishing his house. Tuesday afternoon, it happened again.

But by the time he got there, no stores were open. Along the way, he passed people walking into Plainfield along the, edge of highways closed by police, trying to locate the remains of their homes. "Surprisingly, there don't seem to be a lot of people hurt real bad, he added.

Before Tuesday, the 23-year-old subdivision had been an area of twisting streets and modest one-and two-story houses. But as dusk descended Tuesday, only the winding streets were left in a large section of the neighborhood. About 50 to 60 of the 200 homes in the subdivision were de-i stroyed, but it was difficult to tell because the destruction was so complete.
