Hope everyone got through last night’s storm okay. In downstate Illinois with family until the movers arrive with our stuff in Chicago(moving from the South back to Chicago after years away). Power flickered on and off periodically but mostly missed us.
Getting to Chicago between the NASCAR craziness and the DNC craziness. Good timing, I suppose?
read last night that NWeatherService wants damage reports to help assess the storms. have seen Crestwood, West Loop, Lakeview all with trees pulled up by roots. Video of West Loop roof with pool area furniture just flying off. 10 tornadoes all up and down the line of the storm, yeah, that is not normal.
So I’m in Berwyn and I hear a warning, Markham and Crestwood were in its path, I was like oh, to the south of us. Then another Arlington Park OK to the north, that’s lucky. Then the third called out Berwyn and I was like, man, 3 tornadoes what are the odds as I bundle up me and the dog to take shelter. There we listened as more and more warnings were reported pretty well everywhere. What an evening. The dog slept while I worried.

We threaded the needle with last night’s storm. Hope everyone is safe.
