1876: A tornado, estimated at F3 intensity, tracked four miles across Chicago, Illinois. The damaged buildings included a candy factory, a hospital, a freight depot, and a church.

Further south in Illinois, a tornado blew a moving passenger train off the tracks near Neoga, injuring all 19 people aboard.

Of the 97 people on board (36 passengers and 61 crewmen), there were 35 fatalities (13 passengers and 22 crewmen). One worker on the ground was also killed, making a total of 36 deaths. The Hindenburg was delayed two hours from docking due to thunderstorms in the area.

Ensembles have plenty of rain chances moving forward. I think you will have a day or two sprinkled in of 80’s but the majority will be less than ideal 

Does look cloudy 9 - 10 of the next 14 days with rain chances.  We'll see how warm Tue/Wed can get,next warm up after then looks like 5/13-5/15 timeframe.
