Looks like it raked right over Matthiessen and Starved Rock state parks. Those are pretty big tourist draws from the Chicago area. Hopefully the parks weren't too crowded. Scary thought, especially with people being outside in a state park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but the path more well-traveled is the upper trail there, and it's a thick canopy of mature trees that could easily drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
