That sucks... I'm in Lake Zurich, about 45 mins north.. worst we've had is when a chemical truck fell in the ditch like 5 years ago and leaked some toxic fumes all over the town... I got stuck at school till like 9 at night.

How many people does it take for a 'mass casualties' rating?

only like 5+, but they dont have 30+ ambulances for only 5 people.
