Superstorm93 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Did someone throw the time machine on for March 2, 2012? That looks a ton like the New Pekin tornado. Got larger than that too. Exactly what I was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Dumping hail now. uploadfromtaptalk1428628460092.jpg Good sized. Saw the report of 1" hail there in town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobChgo19 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Anyone else happen to see the downtown area being missed to the north and south?... The storm coming out of Streator does appear to miss the La Grange area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Did someone throw the time machine on for March 2, 2012? That looks a ton like the New Pekin tornado. Got larger than that too. For some historical perspective, the last violent tornado in the LOT cwa was the Plainfield tornado almost 25 years ago. Time will tell if the streak was just broken.

CHI_Weather Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 That storm by Morris is aiming towards Joliet, Orland Park, and Chicago. If it picks up strength we could be in big trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*IndyMeso* Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Did someone throw the time machine on for March 2, 2012? That looks a ton like the New Pekin tornado. Got larger than that too. My thoughts exactly. Watching these videos reminds me of the video of the guy in his backyard in Henryville. Just great motion all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Wow. Hate to make light of the damage, but a 15 mile jog east, and you hit the Dekalb-northern suburbs line. Count the blessing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Exactly what I was thinking. Are those multiple vortices? Can't quite see it well on the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Constant thunder and lightning here as a severe thunderstorm warning is in effect. Tornado warnings haven't been expanded eastwards. 1 inch hail at Bull Valley in McHenry County at 8:15 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southmdwatcher Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Here's the video in YT format https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2021iGunTnM That is a ridiculously violent tornado. Hopefully it maxed out over a field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonOH Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I think we haven't seen close to the worst of the damage yet. This looks powerful enough to scour those farm fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Storm rolled in with C-G lightning and winds gusted up near 40mph. Cut the power for a minute and now it's pouring down hail here. Not much bigger than pea sized though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSWx Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Incredible, I hate getting caught up in ratings before the surveys, but you have to imagine that's minimum EF4 damage there; hope everyone's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
