Chitown Storm Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 You and I must have seen the same strike. That thing came out of no where. Very vivid flashes in advance of the line.

Castaway Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Confirm cells have grew here in dupage. Random strong rumbles. Line still out. Humidity went up you can feel it. Can slice the air like cheese so to speak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Storm isn't very visually appealing, but the winds are really strong right now. Probably gusting near 50 mph currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Nice pic Huronicane! Here there was too many lower level clouds out front to see much. Did see some striations, but they we're all that great. Now it's just thunder and lightning, +RN and winds near 30mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Don't think this was posted yet. EF-1 tornado in Dane county Wisconsin last night. http://www.crh.noaa.gov/news/display_cmsstory.php?wfo=mkx&storyid=103140&source=0 Two weeks ago the EF3, in Verona, passed about 3 miles south of my house. The radar indicated rotation is still being investigated but that was about 3 miles north of my house. Today, had another Twar and that radar indicated rotation seemed to move right over us. However, no damage to speak of. Not even any tree limbs on the ground. We're in a heavily wooded area and you could barely tell there was anything going on with all three of these storms. Definitely not used to that compared to other ares I have lived in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boiler1111 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Had some hail (penny sized - thankfully not quite the baseball sized we had on 5/20) and some winds I would estimate in the 40-50 mph range out here on the far NE side of Aurora. Thankfully not too bad since most of my block is still getting repairs from that May storm. I was a bit concerned the neighbors contractor had secured everything since they were ripping off siding today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
