Oakbrook was wild.   some police activity at oakbrook mall 

Confirmed I’m here. Had a big tree go down imby. Numerous branches down a temporary tent where I have my smoker blew away

was green as hell then got dark. Had 2 different sirens go off about 15-20mins apart. Got hail twice. First one was about quarter size 

best storm of the year so far on top of many already 

file size is ridiculous. Tried compressing the same image and crop it like 4 times lol

Did not expect something on the magnitude of that Menasha area tornado. Reminds me a bit of a slightly less intense Plainfield. Sneaky high-CAPE HP sigtor in what was expected to be a summer wind bag. Likewise also missed a potentially much more catastrophic impact by a day (EAA had ended the day before, in Plainfield school started the day after).

The way the storms moved almost due south in Illinois reminded me of the Roanoke F4 day almost exactly. If a remember correctly, wasn't that also expected to be a derecho type event to start the day?

Quite a weird outcome to yesterday, everything rode the front and the front was never able to advance NE into MI until really late and after the atmosphere was worked over. I would have loved to gotten more rain than we did last night though.

I got 0.37". Honestly more than I expected.

Same amount here, but less than expected.  Had to go west to get in on the action.

It looked like you were at least going to get a decent rain over there. I guess that didn’t happen. We ended up with about .60 here last night. I wasn’t sure we were going to get anything so I’m happy with that.

While multiple rounds of severe t'storm activity occurred across the area yesterday, the most notable at ORD was the late afternoon round.

ORD had a peak wind gust of 64MPH with outflow that moved through ahead of that particular round of activity.
