I've heard of a fella that could slap a tornado.

I think maybe it sprinkled in Deerfield. On the radar it appears to have passed.

What a joke.

Correct.

Plainfield, Joliet, Plano, etc. take a snack and a light to the basement ahead of the storms.

Storm Chaser 5 is in Mendota. I hope they don't get stuck at the stoplight.

Storm Chaser 5 should have taken a left at the Whistle Stop right there and grabbed a beer at Main Street.

I am 10 miles east of Earlville Dr Ken. Doesn't look like it touched down just spotted in the sky. Somonauk and Leland are further North and your family should be ok.

Looks like they are probably heading down to Troy Grove. They should really go toward Triumph. That looks like where the circulation is.

Tell them to get into the basement or an interior room like a closet or bathroom right now. If there is a tornado, is going to be rain wrapped and thus nearly impossible to see until its on top of them.

_________________

It's past both those areas now. Country Noisewater folk know what to do in a tornado.

Thanks for the info, Frank.

Does it looks like it is moving straight East or Southeast?

Southeast toward Morris.

Grab the Tito's and head for the basement huh?

Or is it Dimitri in them areas?

It was Falstaff or Walkers & Water last time I was around.

Ok, yeah, just saw their projected path. Looks like it will slide just South of real populated areas, but many of those small towns are gonna get hammered.

_________________

Storm Chaser 5 heading east on 34 toward Earlville. Hope it didn't get hit. Sounded like it went about 1 mile north which would just be cornfields - luckily the Northern Earlville Suburbs are still under development.

They should be there in about 10 minutes. They got hit a couple years ago on the southwest side of town. I hope they don't again.
