Never been to a house in IL that didn't have a basement so that's odd. Guess those are the houses only stupid people buy, therefore I would never have seen it.

When we were looking for single family houses online, saw many that didn't have a basement. Seems to be more prevalent in 60's and 70's construction. My subdivision, which was mostly built in the early 70s, has a mix of basements no basements. Some models don't have any part of the house below grade.
That said, I would agree with you prior to that. Growing up, all my friends had basements no matter the house size or age of the house.
Now, the only friends of mine without basements are ones who live own townhouses or duplexes.

I just hope the power stays on and I don't have to dodge downed branches on my way home from work. Keeping eyes out for deer is stressful enough.

Things really picking up out here in the west. Gotta be close to 30 mph sustained where I'm at.

Blew windshield trim piece off of my car on my way home from work.
Sucks!

Had a piece of siding in my front yard this morning. Luckily it's not from my house.

I slept like a baby while being literally rocked to sleep by my house.
TnP to the dozens of semis that were flipped of the road.

Hell yes! I found it!
I was fairly sure I saw it on the shoulder on my way to work but didn't have time to stop.
Snagged it on my way home though!
