Live in Homewood (which is about 25 miles south of Downtown Chicago) and we got hit by an EF-1 (can see it on radar in the vid) that went through town around 9:40pm. Took down a ton of large tree branches blocking streets and roads all over the place, snapped power lines, rippedthe tops of big old trees that have been standing for decades right off. It even torn half the roof of the police station off. Seeing video of the funnel is even more scary since it looks huge. The last time this area had a tornado was way back in 1904. Even Downtown Chicago had a tornado which never happens. Grew up here and don't remember anything quite like this. It was a pretty scary night and this system created an outbreak of 29 tornadoes around in Chicago and the burbs. I think that might be a new record. NWS couldn't keep up after a while and took shelter themselves. It's def something I will remember for a while.
I live in the city of Big Shoulders and the weather was really violent. There were two tornadoes that dropped on the city, one on the south side, and one closer to the downtown area. Also one by Midway Airport and one by O'Hare Airport. Part of the 23 tornadoes that went through the Chicago area, over the two days, Sunday and Monday. Had something similar, last year. Thankfully the injuries were few and nothing major. One woman was killed in neighboring Indiana, from the same system that moved through Illinois. Glad everyone was safe in the outbreak, and the making of this video. Thanks for posting this.n
I live in Lynwood, IL and I was watching the storm coming through. It was a pretty scary night. I had to stay in my bathroom for almost an hour. Lights went out as will.
Nice video! And REALLY appreciate the softening of the volume on those couple of loud alerts that came in! That consideration for your viewers' ears earned a sub from me 😉🫡
Great video guys ! 👍That huge dark wave stretching from one point of the horizon to the other, the lightning and sirens wailing give an apocalyptic look to the scene ! 😮
I was driving from downtown Chicago to Tinley Park, IL (south suburbs) & drove right into the tornado. The power went out on the highway, the lights went off, then there were green flashes of light to the left. SO SCARY! I just knew I had witnessed a tornado come across the highway
is scary as it is there's something extremely exciting about seeing a cloud like that and powerful weather coming your way you never know whats gonna happen!!!!
I watched the palos, Crestwood, blue island tornado go by from my front porch in BI. According to the NWS, it dissipated 1 mile west of me..yeah right. I saw it blowing up transformers, tear down trees, damage roofs and fences from the ns of the cal sag channel. Then finally disappear just east of ashland ave. Thats the closest I have ever been to a tornado. Id like to keep it that way!
Nice work guys. Sure appreciate the video and great pictures. I learned the hard way awhile back when taking weather pics to try and avoid power lines, poles, signs, buildings, etc. For some reason I never saw those things until reviewing the pics later on. Just a thought.
Crazy day. My friend lived near one of the tornadoes and she was freaking out. Thankfully she was okay though. Also you got some great shots of the shelf cloud. Very cool 👍
I live in a town right next to Chicago and it scared the crap out of me when I learned that a tornado had started to form right above the area where I live.
EF0 hit my town in Rockford off sandyhollow road. Trees were uprooted and i seen a huge damage pile at the golf course. That was a rock throw from where i live. Only lost power no damages thankfully.
They showed the damage there on the news. That was the strongest of the near two dozen tornadoes that hit our area. I'm hearing that this coming week, more violent weather is forecast. Stay safe and tuned in to the weather forecast.
That one went right over my house. Tore a bunch of shingles off, knocked my fence over, and downed a tree in my yard. My neighbor's garage collapsed. Whole neighborhood looks totally different now with so many trees missing.
Max Velocity covered this storm really well at it was passing over the whole area. It’s a highly populated region so he had the most viewers he ever had on one stream lol
It was wild. I was tracking the system as it moved from north to south, and over the Chicago area, and there were 10 tornadoes on the ground, at one time ! It definitely was a wild two days. 🌪️
Calling in from Chicago, I was amazed to see these tornadoes mature all the way here! Luckily nothing too mad some branches fell which is what I thought but found uprooted trees 😳 but it’s honestly crazy the tornadoes that were near some places literally 4 miles east of ohare got heavy storms!
I live close enough to ohare to where I could here the intercom saying take shelter there are tornadoes in the area, along with the crazy alarms. What a night
We were just south of Belvidere and saw some rotating and lowering. I didnt hop on 90 and chase it because i am still learning. Was incredible what we saw though
I was on the south side of Rochelle that day. When I saw rotation in that nasty shelf cloud coming right at me, I grabbed my cat and took shelter for the first time since the Plainfield tornado in 1990. At the speed it was moving, I didn't want to wait till I saw a funnel forming. I used to chase these storms but I wasn't gonna mess around with that one. There was some serious power behind it.
Tornado hit right by my workplace in VP, and where I live was in the crosshairs of the one that stopped in Naperville. Next day, driving to work was mostly easy until you got into the Lombard and Villa Park areas, as both had been hit by two separate tornadoes. Had to find an alternate route more than once just to get into work on time. Entire block was riddled with fallen trees, damage to houses that you can STILL see today, as much of Lombard and VP has historic housing plus lower income areas that were impacted. It was *wild* in the following days due to all of the damage but everyone was okay. Still have photos of the damage.
This derecho was something special I’ll tell ya, I’d never think I’d have to hear the radio warning play through my town where you’d get called crazy for saying a tornado would touch down, this was like 4 miles east of O’Hare
I was working that night. Tornado hit the town I was working in. Trying to get 18 patients out of bed and away from the windows wasn’t fun. Especially when they all wanted to stay at the windows to watch the weather.😑 Crazy night!
Were I in that hospital, I'd have been one at the window. I do though, greatly appreciate nurses. I've had many good ones taking good care of me. So a shout out to all nurses. Thank you for doing what you do, and those long hours spent learning, then caring for patients. 💙👍
@@brianwade879 A huge part of the problem…. I wanted to be at that window too! 😂 It was a stunning storm! And I missed it all. ☹️ BUT …… the funnel didn’t hit the building so yay! 😊 And thank you.❤️
Exit 1 in Hammond Indiana. Sirens were so loud, winds picked up and lost power before the rain even started, just got power back yesterday the 18th. 130,000 lost power in Lake county Indiana
here in chicago we got blasted with 80 mph winds and a large tornado.. it was crazy. i remember my phone going off for a pds tornado warning saying: this tornado will be near... (my location) around 10PM. i was terrified 😰 😰 and the shelf cloud was out of this world. historic stuff.
Hegewisch (southeasternmost neighborhood in Chicago) was hit and it either lifted or dissipated before striking my community. One passed immediately to the south, I saw multiple power flashes and the wind did a 180° change in direction.
I drove out from Lansing, Michigan and caught up with it near Atkinson, Illinois. I was about 20 miles from where a tornado was confirmed live on air from WQAD, the ABC affiliate for the Quad Cities. They caught it near Andover. I uploaded video of driving into it - though the sound didn’t come out right.
I remember that night, it was not fun. It was just hot and humid, the air was so thick, and it just felt eerie that night. Sirens kept going and going. Kids had to wake up and head to the basement. Thankfully, nobody injured, no damage, just lots of excitement.
I work in Princeton, IL (about an hour south of Dixon). A good amount of people from my department had just left for lunch (we work second shift) when the sirens started going off and everyone still in the building got told to take cover. Me and about ten other people were crammed into one of the restrooms for about an hour. It was crazy.
st charles illinois here. about 30 miles west of the city, basically the last suburb before you hit farmland and it was coming straight at us. I went out to pick up some browns chicken and I saw that it was coming our way sure enough those sirens were blaring by the time I got home and we all went in the basement. we got hit with some real angry weather. trees down. two days in a row
That's all I was missing tracking the system moving through the area. Some Fried Chicken. Browns is two busses away. I had Rotisserie Chicken. I was not going to order delivery, during the storm. Glad you made it safely through. 🌪️
I live in Bartlett and heard the sirens. All we got is rain, wind and a few trees derooted. I also used to live in the area affected. I saw the red power flash from my home too. Insane..
my town was somehow not in any tornado warnings but was surrounded by them, im 30 minutes north of aurora where twin tornadoes touched down and just 10 minutes west of the huge explosion
It's very disconcerting to see a stretch of highway you know very well on I-88 (especially at the 12:00 mark) & seeing a tornado behind the buildings you pass by all the time. At this point, I was huddling in my neighbors bathroom because the sirens had gone off in Wheaton. I saw the circulation icon on my phone's radar whilst I was doing the said huddling. YIKES
It's definitely quite something when it's roads you travel, and towns with friends and family members in them, and nearly everyone under warning 🌪️ at the same time ! A truly wild Sunday and Monday !
I had just left Romeoville driving on 55 before the tornados were that way. I got home and could see a green sky when the lightening struck. Luckily my street didn’t get any damage. We lost most of our trees dues to that bad storm a few years ago.
At roughly the 18 minute mark, you spot a tornado in Flossmoor/Homewood/Hazel Crest. That tornado basically went through my backyard according to the National Weather Service.
I live in Niles and we were in one of the notches. Looked like the inflow winds for the O'Hare issues (tornado not yet confirmed) were going right over our house. I heard low-pitched rumbling under the sounds of the sirens. Pretty wild.
I was in Peoria during this event, we got some pretty bad winds during the storm. My grandparent’s neighbors in a suburb claimed to have seen a tornado touch down
That was a wild storm that went through Cook County, Illinois. Downtown Flossmoor got some tree damage and debris all over the road. I hid in the bathroom with the Radio Scanner and my pet cat. The bathroom did not have any windows. The lights flickered from time to time in the house bathroom. But the lights in the house did not go out completely.
I’m in Sycamore (originally from Oregon,Il). I kept getting warnings of imminent tornado in my area on my smart watch. Then it changed to flash flood warnings. The lights flickered but never lost power.
im about 60 miles south of chicago, slightly west of indiana border. we RARELY hear the sirens go off let alone the immense winds we had!! idk how close I was to a tornado but still, waaaaay to close for comfort!! luckily no damage to house or car!
I was at home watching the news Coverage with my dad in Laporte Indiana and all of a sudden one of our phones had a Tornado Warning Alert on our phones and we heard the sirens go off i went outside to check to see if any rotation on funnel clouds and my dad told me to get inside so i went inside my home luckily our home was not hit by the Tornado it was rated as a EF1 with winds over a 100 luckily were okay.
I live in Des Planies, and I heard their was one by O'hare, not the same part of Des Plaines that I live in, so I never saw it. Just a severe thunderstorm, and heard the sirens going off.
There was a weak but still fairly destructive EF0 about a mile and a half from me in Lockport, IL. One of the many, many confirmed EF0-EF1s that hit Chicagoland around the same time. I thought I was seeing things when I looked north out my apartment building's door. An anxiety hallucination. But nope. I saw the tornado lit up by lightning. It was terrifying. Especially since the only place to hide for me is the downstairs hallway, which could easily become a wind tunnel.
I'm in Lockport too, that scared the shit out of me! I opened the warning expecting to see "radar indicated" and I saw confirmed and on the ground was terrifying. I know the feeling cause I'm in a second floor apartment over a commercial building and we don't have many choices when it comes to shelter. My mom told me that the only area we'd probably be able to hold up in is our kitchen which has a super long half wall/counter, throw some pillows and blankets down, maybe a mattress above us to hold on to and pray. There's not much else to do which is a shame considering how many tornadoes Illinois is getting now that we don't have public shelters.
Live in IL river grove one of the tornadoes were at samburg and it was going to my town but it didn’t also my friend lived in park ridge he kept getting the warning and he went to his basement luckily he’s fine
Far southern green county wisconsin here. Several tornado warnings with some rotation but nothing really strong enough to produce a tornado. Cool light show though.
I lived in aurora when this happened I was chilling in my balcony watching the lightning then I got the alert of a tornado warning I watched Ryan hall when this was happening he said there was rotation happing near sugar Grove and he said if your in that area to take cover luckily the tornado dissipated and we just got hit with 50-70 mph of winds
i was watching max velocity 30 min before it really hit illinois since ive been following him for a while and was surprised to see illinois mentioned. by the time the t warning came on my device and my mom's my county showed up on his stream as well lol. we had a plan already especially since we live in a mobile home but stayed put. those winds were hectic and felt like the house was shaking
So scary. I don't chase derechos, i raced a bow echo thru south louisiana earlier this year and it eventually overtook me and was taking trees down on the highway 🤣😭
That's not a tornado.... it's your arm reflection in the window:) And nice video you have showing the white lines of freeway. Now go get your reward. Some Kwispy Kwunchy Chickey. Just kidding..... you have some impressive footage.
You guys were so wrong, that storm walked through Portage and Chesterton like it was Godzilla, power flash after flash surrounded by dense green rotation, thought I was gonna get it when our power lines got hit but we're all good! Stay safe, maybe it was good fortune yall weren't down here for that system, it was pure darkness once lines were gettin hit!!
Neat video. We lucked out in extreme SW Michigan yet again, just a substantial downpour and we didn't even get very much in the way of straight line winds above 30-40mph where I was. That MCV that formed in front of the main line seemed to disrupt the environment over the lake as it approached. But I'm worried that sooner or later our luck is going to run out. 🫤
There's always a chance, I thought Chicago had been lucking out, considering we have had much less tornadoes this year compared to last where Illinois had the most. Just take this time to prepare, make plans, gather a bag that you can quickly grab for when that luck might run out. My town saw a tornado during this but it passed within a couple miles to my east luckily.
@@alwaysreadin163 Yep, I put a kit together and made a definite plan last year and I first put it to use at the end of February this year. It definitely makes me feel a lot more prepared and confident.
Lmao, we got the warning and I told my parents to go to the basement and they literally got there like minute off from when the warning is lifted. I wish people would see this and understand when warnings are issued, best practice is to take cover and not continue to watch tiktoks on the first floor.

Literally same haha. I appreciate the small things
Well, I enjoyed that ! I'll be looking for you guys next week. Were outlooked for similar weather conditions. Stay safe 🙏🌪️

EF0 hit my town in Rockford off sandyhollow road. Trees were uprooted and i seen a huge damage pile at the golf course. That was a rock throw from where i live. Only lost power no damages thankfully.
The biggest tornado (EF2) missed my house by less than a mile in Channahon. Saw the power flashes
I'm from Frankfort and it passed right by my work. Same tornado. It traveled roughly 29 miles
I think I saw that on the skycam

I live in Des Planies, and I heard their was one by O'hare, not the same part of Des Plaines that I live in, so I never saw it. Just a severe thunderstorm, and heard the sirens going off.
Kalamazoo, MI here. Only got wind and rain thankfully.
I live. In aurora but I never got any damage. Thank god. And whoever was in that storm thank god your safe now😔🙏
Glad you are safe!
It went from daytime to nighttime in just about 30 minutes
It was around 8-9 PM.. that's what happens. Lol
There was a weak but still fairly destructive EF0 about a mile and a half from me in Lockport, IL. One of the many, many confirmed EF0-EF1s that hit Chicagoland around the same time. I thought I was seeing things when I looked north out my apartment building's door. An anxiety hallucination. But nope. I saw the tornado lit up by lightning. It was terrifying. Especially since the only place to hide for me is the downstairs hallway, which could easily become a wind tunnel.
I'm in Lockport too, that scared the shit out of me! I opened the warning expecting to see "radar indicated" and I saw confirmed and on the ground was terrifying. I know the feeling cause I'm in a second floor apartment over a commercial building and we don't have many choices when it comes to shelter. My mom told me that the only area we'd probably be able to hold up in is our kitchen which has a super long half wall/counter, throw some pillows and blankets down, maybe a mattress above us to hold on to and pray. There's not much else to do which is a shame considering how many tornadoes Illinois is getting now that we don't have public shelters.
glad you both are safe!
I was in warrenville during that time we were in the basement for at least an hour
@@zacharychristman171 Glad to hear you were in a safe place! These storms had a lot of warning lead time
better safe than sorry, I feel that! lol
Live in IL river grove one of the tornadoes were at samburg and it was going to my town but it didn’t also my friend lived in park ridge he kept getting the warning and he went to his basement luckily he’s fine
I was in the durecho and A TORNADO TOUCHED DOWN WITHOUT WARNING
F1 tho
daaaaaaamn hope all got thru well without much if any new financial burdens!
Far southern green county wisconsin here. Several tornado warnings with some rotation but nothing really strong enough to produce a tornado. Cool light show though.
I lived in aurora when this happened I was chilling in my balcony watching the lightning then I got the alert of a tornado warning I watched Ryan hall when this was happening he said there was rotation happing near sugar Grove and he said if your in that area to take cover luckily the tornado dissipated and we just got hit with 50-70 mph of winds
i was watching max velocity 30 min before it really hit illinois since ive been following him for a while and was surprised to see illinois mentioned. by the time the t warning came on my device and my mom's my county showed up on his stream as well lol. we had a plan already especially since we live in a mobile home but stayed put. those winds were hectic and felt like the house was shaking
So scary. I don't chase derechos, i raced a bow echo thru south louisiana earlier this year and it eventually overtook me and was taking trees down on the highway 🤣😭
And I had to sit in my hot ass break room in Calumet park during this. You drove right past my house at one point. Wild to see on youtube.
Good little road trip. Looks almost time to get a motel room not in the path of the tornado.
That's not a tornado.... it's your arm reflection in the window:) And nice video you have showing the white lines of freeway. Now go get your reward. Some Kwispy Kwunchy Chickey. Just kidding..... you have some impressive footage.
Rear camera options when driving away?
Congrats on 10k views
You guys were so wrong, that storm walked through Portage and Chesterton like it was Godzilla, power flash after flash surrounded by dense green rotation, thought I was gonna get it when our power lines got hit but we're all good! Stay safe, maybe it was good fortune yall weren't down here for that system, it was pure darkness once lines were gettin hit!!
Neat video. We lucked out in extreme SW Michigan yet again, just a substantial downpour and we didn't even get very much in the way of straight line winds above 30-40mph where I was. That MCV that formed in front of the main line seemed to disrupt the environment over the lake as it approached. But I'm worried that sooner or later our luck is going to run out. 🫤
There's always a chance, I thought Chicago had been lucking out, considering we have had much less tornadoes this year compared to last where Illinois had the most. Just take this time to prepare, make plans, gather a bag that you can quickly grab for when that luck might run out. My town saw a tornado during this but it passed within a couple miles to my east luckily.
@@alwaysreadin163 Yep, I put a kit together and made a definite plan last year and I first put it to use at the end of February this year. It definitely makes me feel a lot more prepared and confident.
Man, that storm was UGLY!
Insane
Who- me or the tornado? 😂😂
@@glwx_ is both an option?
@@Isaactheweathernerd Absolutely
@@glwx_ lol
Our house dude...
We in Northern Indiana got hit by these tornadoes tpo
I live in Hazel Crest and we got BLASTED TO SHIT!!!
I live less than a couple miles from 1 near Lewis University
I gave you your 900th like
Thanks dude!
@@glwx_ your welcome. Plus I subscribed.
Nice
Lmao, we got the warning and I told my parents to go to the basement and they literally got there like minute off from when the warning is lifted. I wish people would see this and understand when warnings are issued, best practice is to take cover and not continue to watch tiktoks on the first floor.
A tornado touched down near ohare airport
How would I be able to get into this?
cam in back window maybe?
Ho! Big tornado in the thumbnail.
😢😢
yea we got slammed pretty bad lol
It was weak - max F1. Nothing big.
This is the shizz that deluged Toronto the next day!
Ebeggin
