Near Northbrook. Pretty impressive looking for an otherwise mediocre storm. This was taken by a friend. Obligatory don’t use your phone when driving but thought it was cool enough to share anyway.

Wow I needed this laugh today. Forum gold right here someone archive plz

Absolute insanity. Those poor people…

Somerset had 3 tornado warnings in about 90min. Two after the initial tornado went through and at least the first and second one were a PDS warnings. Can’t imagine the trauma people there went through.

Definitely. I’m a renter but believe me I walk the property and daydream about the things I’d do if I owned it!

Video of the hail/wind here (sorry for my language lol) My poor flag pole: Good show over the lake

Took some hail damage here up to ping pong ball size. Van parked in the driveway has a few minor dents but nothing horrible. The winds were strong enough to take down my old rusty flag pole. RIP ol’ gal. I have video of the hail I’ll post later once my internet comes back.

I find it humorous they issued the watch but they almost specifically said “nope” to lake county lol. I’m sure another one will be issued just looks funny on the map.

Another fairly impressive marine layer next to the lake again today/tonight. I’d guesstimate about 1/4-1/2mi visibility right now. Go just a few miles inland and it’s clear. Am I weeny enough when fog gets me excited? (And don’t give me shit about my lawn I’m a renter lol) Edit: Way below even 1/4mi now just before midnight. This is really isolated to very close to the lake but pretty impressive. Can’t see the flag at all now in my original pic.

Been foggy here all day. But go 1mi inland from the lake and it’s clear. Kinda neat!

Sunset up here was pretty cool especially out over the lake. The sky turned several different shades as the sun went down. Also caught this in Racine just north of the system which was a nice bonus

46k without power in the area.

Storms were impressive looking but not a single report of a confirmed tornado yikes Edit: I spoke too soon there is one now

Lots of spotters reporting gustnadoes as tornadoes on the ground rn

Is it me or is SPC just on it this year? The day 4-7 outlooks have been so spot on. Good luck to all chasing or those in the prime area. Stay safe!
