Hoosier Posted May 17 With 2 weeks left in the month, another thing to watch going forward for ORD will be whether they can pull off a 10"+ month. It has happened only 8 times out of 1792 months on record for Chicago. 4 of those have occurred since 1987. 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IWXwx Posted May 18 It may have been mentioned before, but all of this rain in the GL region is not going to be welcome to those with Lake Michigan lakeside properties, especially with the seemingly persistent strong winds we've been experiencing this spring. I read somewhere that the mean lake level has gone up 5 1/2 feet since early 2013. 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chicago WX Posted May 18 Total and complete devastation here. Going to pull an all-nighter to try to save my parents basement.

CheeselandSkies Posted May 18 Difference is the major lack of thunder/severe this time around. COVID put the kibosh on any Plains dreams I might have had this year, anyway. Of course last year's 3,000 mile round trip to stare at the wall of murk surrounding the Mangum tornado wasn't exactly rewarding or fun. Nothing like driving all that way, getting on the right storm at the right time, and not playing it right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
