This board about to be quiet AF let’s just all accept it and enjoy the nice wx lol

I mean that’s a good thing.

Did this life threatening situation materialize?

Had hail damage in may and got wind damage today. Tore off a couple panels of my siding, although admittedly they were probably weakened already and this was just the final straw. Wasn’t home when it happened so can’t give any estimated wind speeds. Glad I’m a renter this year but still a pain in the butt. Definitely was not expecting that today especially since we were never warmed for anything. Been a fantastic light show over the lake tonight.

I know STL isn’t discussed much here but they just got rocked.

People in Milwaukee parking garages having a bad time: https://streamable.com/nc8u50?src=player-page-share

Holy shit! I was driving back to Kenosha from Milwaukee during the tail end of it. Accidents everywhere along 94 from downtown and south. In a 15mi stretch I must have seen 10 accidents if not more. Lanes suddenly blocked with impassible standing water, underpasses flooded (passible but had to idle through), cars spun out and blacked out in the middle of the highway, visibility was absolute garbage… that was a sketchy drive and I definitely shouldn’t have been out there, but as a weather nerd it was still pretty cool to see. Didn’t look like any of the accidents were too serious but none of them had emergency crews on scene yet, so there were just random cars sitting in the middle of the road or crashed against the barriers. The CG was very impressive as well. Glad to be home safely in my bed.

Currently in Litchfield, IL. It’s really, really bad. :/

I thought it was cuz I keep my AC below 70 and drive a car to work. Phew!

Had some surprisingly cool looking mammatus pass over Mundelein about 30min ago well north of the line. Wouid have gotten a picture but I was soaking in the pool.

Slight risk added for Chicago metro today? Didn’t really see that one coming.

Only made it to 74 next to the lake today. Absolutely perfect and felt so refreshing. Not sure what to really make of tomorrow but hoping to at least have a rumbler roll on by.

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
