Just tied my tomatoes up extra tight in the garden, husband is out moving the car away from our neighbors half-dead tree… hoping we don’t get the worst of it. Sometimes I really hate being the grown up and not getting to just enjoy storms anymore

i'd be really cautious buying into the big talk regarding tomorrow, until morning that is.

there's a subtle wave in the sioux falls region this evening, which will translate east overnight. it appears that we should see t'storm development ahead of this feature, along the diffuse boundary across iowa and n illinois tonight. if this activity becomes too significant or lingers too deep into the morning, the big mega derecho hype will fail hard.

Hopefully WaryWarren, the nazi, doesn't miss it because he's visiting his 80 year old mom in Wisconsin.  I guess Bolzano for life didn't work out!

This will push the state past 200, which I believe is a first for any state.

[SchaumburgStormer]

Northern Kankakee county into Indiana has been ground zero this year.

Not at home for this one. Garbage day so cans are probably a mile down the road by now. My poor dogs

Texas has surpassed 200 a few times. But, IL will be the only other state to have.

Ahh, yeah that would make sense considering the scope of the state down there. IL doing it is absolutely nuts.
