came strong and went in about 5 minutes in my hood. i had no idea what to do so i just did nothing.

I remember being in Chicago in the River North area close to the Trump Hotel where we were staying and the tornado sirens started going off about 3-4 years ago. People had no clue what to do lol.

From a Kansan living in Tornado Alley, when shit like what you have just experienced happens, you should find a hole and crawl into it!

:)

Sorry, I should not call the people of Chicago "dumbasses". This kind of shit is so rare up there that they really do NOT know what to do other than watch the pretty lightning!

Listened to one of the newscasters there talking about the groundstrikes surrounding a "black cloud"............................

Uh, where we come from, that is a fucking tornado and it is time to hit the deck, batten down the hatches and get UNDERGROUND!

Even if it's not, we treat it like it is!

Aint called the windy city for nothin'

I'm from Indiana...was just being sarcastic. Most people are from the midwest and know what to do. The problem is not everyone has a place to go and tornados have very very rarely impacted Chicago proper so people aren't that worried about it.

:thumbsup

It's all good here:thumbsup Just some high winds and lightning and rain...The power didn't even go out:winkwink:

The Weather Channel is reporting 70K people without power, so you are lucky.

EDIT:

Correction: TWC says now that 70K number could TRIPLE!

I bet you like getting pounded.

Well, now, that just depends on who is doing the pounding and what they are pounding on!

well that wasnt as much fun as i hoped!

Thanks for that breaking news sally!!!!

Missed this thread, the storm came so fast with almost no warning, (for me at least). We went from not even having a severe thunderstorm watch to hail, a tornado and sirens within 15-20 minutes.

I'm out in the NW burbs, my guess is we were hit with an EF0 or EF1. Downed trees, power lines and some broken windows. I'll see the extent of the damage in the morning.

granted it is a horrible thing to have such weather, on a selfish note, it is a good thing this happened after the xbiz show

you're from chicago?

Around 4:00 pm our time I went up on our roof to take a phone call and realized that our big screen had been demolished by the storm (along with half the deck it was attached to). We just finished making some temporary repairs...
