I know there has been topics on this but this is a more specific topic about today.
Ok as the people in Lake County know, we were under a Tornado Warning.
What did everyone think when the sirens in Gurnee and Waukegan started going off?
Me, I was freaked out. I am not use to this kinda weather as I am from Washington and have lived there and Cali. What about anyone else?

This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
Dude, i had rotating Wall Clouds and Tornadoes in my front yard lmao. I was out side filming it and taking pictures
 
If IL gets a tornado, which is not often, it is southern IL, so not much to worry about.
I just came inside and about a half hour ago (dusk) you could just see the giant thunderheads in the distance with lightning inside of them...looks like it's going to be another rough night...

Galvan if your in Grundy County you had a rough time.
Woodland I also saw those thunderheads. Last edited by rct2wizard360 on May 30th, 2004, 2:28 pm, edited 1 time in total.
Stupid Comment. Joliet which is in Northern Illinois just had a tornado in April.I live in Will County.
First of all, don't call me or my comments stupid. You don't know me. If you don't agree with what I posted, simply say that.
Second, I said "not often" not never.
I live 3 miles from gam, and at around 8 oclock a nation weather survice thing cut us off from the sopranos and said that a 40 mph tornado was coming eastward through gurnee in lake county Illinois. My moms friend who lives about a half mile away said she ran to her basement when she saw the tornado.
I never saw one. I only had hail. I didnt really care about gam at the moment either because those rides are in the ground good. Welcome to The O.C. biatch
Well people must not hear much about the country side, because I live in the north-west part of the state and we get quite a few tornados a year.
And by the way I was in Gurnee today and a massive, ugly funnel cloud went right over me and the park. Kinda cool. Thats what I think!
None of this is/was as scary as the april 20 tornado that went right behind my house N hit my aunt and uncles house N my grandmas house in Utica ILL.
Like how massive? On the scale of 0-5. Galvan316: Could you send me those pics if you have them still? Send to rctfan1556s@yahoo.com. This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
Illinois is 5th for the most tornadoes each year. And so far this year has the most tornado related deaths.
"If IL gets a tornado, which is not often, it is southern IL, so not much to worry about."
Actually Northern Illinois is more likely.... Bourbonnais, Which is where I live  , Is currently the most likely place to have a tornado, With Bradley, Kankakee and Manteno all in the top 10 as well, which are all right next to each other - Kankakee county is only 30 minutes south of chicago 
May I ask where your getting your data from?
News Radio 780 WBBM
There were flood warnings and tornado warnings for a tornado heading east through Gurnee. The Des Plaines river was supposedly seeing record flooding.
Does anyone want the video I took last night? Aero I like the pics. Also my cousins windshield was taken out by the hail and I DID get tape of a touchdown after all. Lasted about 43.87 sec. Its kinda sketchy though because my cousin is doing 70+ on the side street with pot holes.
Ya sure. Send it to rcfan1556s@yahoo.com. 
I can't belive it touch down, I thought it was just a Funnle Cloud.  This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
I would also like to see it, but PM me for contact information. Unless you were in Romeoville or further south, I highly doubt that it was an acuall touchdown. It might of been a dust whirl from a microburst and lowered scud clouds (they sometimes appear to touch the ground). Anyways, and still captures or video clips would be helpfull to me and to the NWS. I would suggest you sent the tape to them if you suspect there is a tornado on it-it could be helpful for insurance claims for anything damaged by it.
Anyways. Before this topic is done (which it soon will) http://www.spc.noaa.gov/climo/reports/040523_rpts.html Also, I didn't take thoes pictures- Mike (Galvan316) did.
Good idea there Aero. Good thing there wasn't much if it all damage from these storms(besides the flooding). Now is tonight supposed to be a rain threat or somthing like we saw yesterday(i doubt that)? This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/
Can somebody tell me if we are caught in the jet stream right now? Is that why we keep getting storm system after storm system?

I don't know about the jet stream, but we were under a stationary front. What I remember, that's the worst kind of front.
well, Will county had a small tornado just south of I-55. Kinda freaked me out because i'm 1/2 Noth of I-55
 . But, it stayed south. I think a couple windows in Romeoville were destroyedGoodbye 11/9!
Yes It was south of Romeoville. Last edited by rct2wizard360 on May 30th, 2004, 2:29 pm, edited 1 time in total.
I live in Lockport which is neighbors with Romeoville and we were standing outside watching the clouds and we heard this helicopter somewhere above us.. it was so loud but we couldn't see it. It turns out that it was video taping in Romeoville because there was some damage.
