If the July 27 tornado touched your home, your business, or your block, we’d like to hear about it. You decide how (and whether) your story is shared.

If the July 27 tornado touched your home, your business, or your block, we’d like to hear about it. We’re collecting stories from across the Fox Valley: what that morning was like, what the weeks since have looked like, who showed up when it mattered. There’s no single way to take part. You can write something and send it in, share privately or anonymously, sit down for an interview, tell your story at the event, or help us preserve photographs, video and other documentation from the days after the storm. Sharing your story does not automatically mean consenting to its public use. The form below lets you tell us how, and whether, you’d like it shared.
