Castaway

nvm there’s outages everywhere. Not a Chicago area thing https://x.com/intelpointalert/status/2081847113378373714?s=46 My cell and a bunch of others have SOS. No cell signal. Weird. In different towns too

Confirmed I’m here. Had a big tree go down imby. Numerous branches down a temporary tent where I have my smoker blew away was green as hell then got dark. Had 2 different sirens go off about 15-20mins apart. Got hail twice. First one was about quarter size best storm of the year so far on top of many already file size is ridiculous. Tried compressing the same image and crop it like 4 times lol

89/75 sweaty balls today. Somehow managed to gather strength to smoke/grill on the pitboss pellet grill twice before each rd in oak brook. the img compressor shit here sucks

Everything is training just north of me. Looks like a barrage. Nonstop lighting. Barely a drop here. Best atmosphere to chill outside or take a walk

Same here by Oak Brook. This was about 20 mins later also. Best hail so far this year. Light show was top notch. Been a while a storm like this hit in March imby. Definitely one of the best ones In awhile. Not sure another one will hit like this with the hail but if anything tops this coming up this summer it would have to be a totg or top tier derecho etc

Has anyone seen my pit boss smoker cover?

Best one I’ve seen around the area in a while

Looks like the Pontiac cell is heading into stable air

T warned now

Yeah the one nw of Pontiac is looking to drop one any minute now

At least the clouds are clearing out more in northern and central il
