Castaway

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

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.

Looked near white out by Lombard/Downers grove area. Had some solid bangers. Probably best storm so far

87 with dews now up at 69 with gusts up to 34mph imby

86 right now with 68 dews and 14mph southerly winds in imby in dupage

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

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.

Wonder what the pressure readings are on Petit Martinique. Should be dropping fast right now.

Hurricane Beryl is enjoying the depths by the Guiana Basin. It’ll pick up obviously as it approaches the islands. Currently where this beast popped up has depths of 4000 meters, or just east of it. Also according to wiki: “The beaches on the southern margin are important hatching grounds for the vulnerable Leatherback sea turtle, with the region supporting the largest Leatherback nesting area in the world.[13] [13]” Luckily for them it’s north and moving west of them. The newly discovered large oil field isn’t far from there also.

Interestingly new development popped ahead of it to its southeast right afterwards.

Well defined debris hole.

Seems to be heading by Waterloo
