  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. Has anyone seen my pit boss smoker cover?
  7. Best one I’ve seen around the area in a while
  8. Looks like the Pontiac cell is heading into stable air
  9. Yeah the one nw of Pontiac is looking to drop one any minute now
  10. At least the clouds are clearing out more in northern and central il
  11. Tree down at my old neighborhood in Cicero. Possible lightning strike. Also a gas station blew up on oak park and Ogden in Berwyn. Still going on. People said they heard/felt an explosion all the way near Austin and Ogden.
  12. Looked near white out by Lombard/Downers grove area. Had some solid bangers. Probably best storm so far
  13. 86 right now with 68 dews and 14mph southerly winds in imby in dupage
  14. Yeah it was right by a buddy of mine in Elgin. I caught it last minute while watching other cells everywhere. Didn’t look impressive velocity wise but was surprised seeing the cc drop
  15. Feeling the cool down. Moisture was piping right til it got here half hr ago. Took a quick walk to get some beers and heard the sirens. Definitely felt beefy with a rolling barrage coming in.
