The sky looks scary at Chicago.
I’m from Chicago and the power was off for a whole day for me
@@BXM_RA3it was really bad but I had power the whole time in illinois
@@BXM_RA3 same
@@BXM_RA3Mine still off…

I was in my basement for like an hour 😂😂😂😂
I was at the Montrose beach at night and I was probably the only one there who seen something off with the lightning. It looked like a cylinder tornado, probably an EF-2 or EF-1. And I thought it was just one tornado until another lighting strike exposed a wall cloud with a funnel. When the lightning kept flashing the cylinder tornado kept forming and deforming itself and I never knew why. I already took videos of the thunder show, but at one point one of the lightning strikes exposed the tornado that kept forming and deforming itself, it was still a cylinder but massive, my guess would be that it was 1/10 of a mile wide. The same exact lightning strike exposed a rope tornado which looked pretty photogenic. The wind started getting crazy so I had to go to my car, but when I took a video of the same cylinder tornado that kept forming and deforming itself I was in absolute shock. That ominous tornado was a multiple vortices tornado and it was MASSIVE, at least 1/4 or even 1/3 of a mile wide and i thought that the tornado is definitely an EF-4. The craziest part about this outbreak is that I seen 3 tornadoes at once. UPDATE the only strong tornado was at Shannahon, Illinois, at least an EF-2 most of the other tornadoes including the tornadoes following Chicago were either EF-0’s or EF-1’s
I was kinda prepared but not enough we forgot our flashlights and a phone charger up stairs. I heard that there was a storm that was coming with potentially a tornado I was also tracking it before it got here. But very interesting.
I was watching the news with my family when they panned onto O'hare Airport and it looked like a massive F-5 tornado was forming. We just said, everyone in the basement now. Luckily we're a bit north so we didn't get any, but it looks like a crazy storm. I don't remember us getting so many tornadoes even 10 years ago.
dang I live right by Montrose beach, wasn’t expecting any of the warnings to apply to this area cause usually never does lol
@@TheZombaslaya I was just scrolling down on my facebook and looking at the storm through the window. Then the storm intensified in a minute and the sirens went off. But I couldn't see a funnel, so I just moved away from the window. Then, 15 mins later I saw a post on Facebook saying there was a radar confirmed tornado 5 mins away from my apartment. This is the closest I've ever been to a tornado. It always happens in Aurora, Geneva or Naperville around 15 to 20 mins away. Man, this time I was really scared. It didn't help that the news anchors said this cell storm was causing multiple tornadoes in the same areas. No wonder this has been the strongest storm in years.
Post the video
The "massive" tornado was only an EF-1
That’s probably because it barely hit anything. Or, what looks like a “massive” tornado can actually have winds that are (thankfully) weak.
Size is never an indicator of strength. Thin, snakey rope tornadoes can be EF5. Giant wedges can be EF0.
I thought it was just me. The sensationalism that the media tries to use is really annoying. I barely saw anything.
@@momogal04 thanks for adding to what I said. You said exactly what I meant, but maybe a little more clearly.
Aye, that's one of the reasons why the Fujita scale is seen as being pretty wonky. The tornado likely was quite powerful, but since it didn't do much damage.... EF-1. The wind-speed estimates are based more around the damage it causes, but that became outdated when radar advanced and we could measure wind speeds remotely accurately, yet meteorologists still rely on it.
Welcome to illinois baby lol
I’m so tired of this weather I live in the northern Chicagoland area. We been getting hit non stop 🤦🏻♀️.
And?
This is relatively new for people in this area. They aren't used to or prepared for this type of frequent tornado threat. @StephenB-iy7pr
@@Ang0202 it's just never been this bad especially not as consistently I lived in IL for 24 years tornadoes were more like wind here rain there maybe couple branches here not like full blown destruction especially like last year in Elgin where I lived maybe more rural areas but not like the city and the burbs
@@StephenB-iy7prThis is not normal weather for the area and most people aren’t equipped for the change.
@@dothanoodledance27 Chicago had a worse tornado outbreak back in 1967 though. Google Oak Lawn tornado outbreak. This kind of weather happens every 60-70 years.
Yea I was crying 😢 it was so scary my power went out
Everything turned off in my area it’s was like a mini emp grenade my whole complex went pinch black power came back on at like 4 in the morning
I am in Joliet,Ill. and it has to get pretty bad for me to head to the basement. The winds were crazy out there.
In Chicago?
Yep
I have video and pictures of the largest tornado 🌪️ ever. I was chasing a tornado about a 45 minutes from my house. The tornado was at El Reno Oklahoma. It was largest tornado on record
I live in Chicago
And??? Do you need to make every story about yourself? This is a tornado report.
@@hutch1197lol why are you triggered by a random person comment
@@hutch1197 🤫
@@Dontclickmychannellll Why were you so triggered by my comment that you needed to step into a convo between random people you don't even know? Because it's a comments section, and that's what people do. They comment.
@@hutch1197congrats
Man,i still cant believe the trees!!! 🤯 I wish i can help its horrible by Marquette park 💔
GOD IS ANGRY
y’all it hit different
O Allah.. please save my brother and sister wherever they are. Ameeen
What
I’m scared
Stop sinning.
@@StephenB-iy7pr I’m not
@@Monvr658He Came From the Devil
Ughhhhhhhhh ya it's a tornado
MotherNature's way of trashing Chicago
Again
Oswego isn’t a Chicago suburb 😂
It's literary just south of Aurora. Yes, it's a suburb of Chicago.
@@hutch1197 y'all yuppy kids keep saying that so you can claim being from Chicago. Just admit you're from Naperville.
here comes the zip code enforcement crew..
@seanjones21 Does The Truth trigger you?
@@mojonation1487 I've lived in the city since 1998. I just don't prescribe to the cliche "suburb vs. city" nonsense that people think makes them sound cool or edgy. People have been cracking "Naperville" jokes for decades. And nobody has said "yuppie" since the 1990's. Your material is tired and worn out. Like you.
Америка это заслужила 😊
Omg
Hosea 8:7
Thats God for you
They were all like F0 or MAYBE f1 tornados people. Relax.
And? There were a lot of them forming quickly and simultaneously, and in particular the one that went through Oswego was unwarned (i.e., it wasn't caught by the weather service until it had already formed and was causing damage). The large number of tornadoes, in combination with the derecho's strong winds, were quite destructive; I don't see a point in this odd form of "gatekeeping" over tornado intensity when it's all still very dangerous.
Hmm 🤔 sounds like project smart cities 🏙👀
