2 simultaneous PDS’s now .

Pre-storm atop a parking deck near Roosevelt/Damen and post-storm from Hyde Park. Saw tons of tree damage and some scaffolding that had collapsed on a car along the drive home.

looks like rotation moved to my south and east but this wind is no joke wow

broad rotation right in front of me

currently around Damen/Roosevelt, where do y’all think I should go (that I could get to in time with a car) for the best vantage point?

Worried about Rockingham County… EDIT: PDS warning now, this is looking really bad

Tornado-warned storm moving directly toward Charlotte now

Awfully quiet in here. Structural damage reports coming in from a likely tornado near Mebane

Coming down nicely in Hyde Park now

From my sister who’s picking up my niece from pre-k in Lincoln Square: “holy sh*t balls it’s like a blizzard!”

Can’t imagine what it’s going to look like when this band moves through given how it’s already felt like a blizzard these last couple of hours.

Pretty sure I just saw a flash of lightning here in Hyde Park

Any chance the LES bullseye ends up a little further SE (Chicago metro and South Side)? Or is it mainly just a question of how much the north side and suburbs get? EDIT: either way, can’t complain too much with the synoptic snow still cranking down here

Still waiting for the fun to begin down in Hyde Park—didn’t think it would take this long.

hope not, especially given that I'm on the western fringe of HP. either way, should be an interesting drive to the Illinois Medical District for work tomorrow morning.
