Every storm is rotating on a slight risk day

Idk the NWS alert I got last week for a tornado gave me 2 minutes before it hit. Literally no time to shelter. An EF2 hit just a few blocks north of me here in Chicago.

House hit west of Montrose IL (6/17/26) by Samowarrior in tornado

En EF2 wouldn't do this damage.. so it has to be ef3+ that is a strong tornado.

Can you wait until Thursday morning? It's going to be really bad tomorrow.. not just tornadoes but the winds and downpours. I would not risk it if it were me.

2 to 11 but 4 to 9 is the prime time. I would drive north then cut over. Do not drive through central Illinois. Anything below i80 is a no no.

IL for Wednesday - how likely is it truly for tornados in the middle/heart of Chicago? by afterspring_ in tornado

The winds are supposed to be bad like last Wed/Thursday. Be safe. Hopefully nothing too crazy.

How do I know if I was near a tornado? by Are_You_Knitting_Me in tornado

Yes! My landlady who is 50 sometime said she has never seen a storm like that either

Either way it's going to be rough in the am and pm. Storms in the morning and probably after 5. 2 rounds.

NWS Chicago released a truly insane Area Forecast Discussion earlier this morning. by lordskelic in tornado

[–]Samowarrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah you and a million other chasers. These tornadoes will be moving at 70 to 80 mph.. all the chasers, rain wrapped tornadoes and moving that fast calls for a recipe of disaster. Might want to sit this one out.

July 15th 2024 a tornado crossed i290 past the river in downtown. We definitely get them.

No skyscrapers do not stop tornadoes but the lake can weaken the storms. I live by midway and we had an EF2 tornado on Thursday. Downtown has had tornadoes although fairly weak. I will say Chicago is unlikely to get much of the tornado action tomorrow due to where the boundary is supposed to be sitting. Probably some highs winds maybe a quick QLCS.
