Still of video from tornado near Reddick tonight. 
 

Other pic is Sup before going tornadic.  

NWS rated this EF1.  Never really hit anything directly.   Grazed some farmsteads and a business.   
We had debris falling on us about a mile away.  
Biggest EF1 I’ve seen, lol.  Yes I know that’s not how it’s rated.

Tornado warned cell near Dewitt, about 40 minutes ago.  Looking north.  Messy af.  

My son captured this lightning strike from his front door. 

Couple pics from our brief chase near Wenona, IL. 
Nothing exciting but wasn’t a bad looking storm.  

Don’t see this very often 

EF3 rating in the Aroma Park area.    Traveled 36.6 miles.

Rip city here. Everything has gone to sh*t. Looks like we got lucky and was far enough “south” to get into some good banding. Probably won’t last long, but it’s nice to have received…

Currently in LA but my son sent me this from Kankakee earlier 

Maggie Daley Park about an hour ago.  

Pic from the West Loop a few minutes ago 

From a friend who lives between Kankakee and Momence. 
 

Earth Cam from Chicago just now, compared to what it normally looked like earlier in the evening. 
 

Breeze felt good today.
