[BlessedResistanceX]

Isn't that a tornado siren at 2:46 doing no one any good? It looks like the ones we have around here.

My Ham radio storm spotter group tracked that entire storm. We had over 10 spotters most public safety spotting that storm I was running netcontrol from Homewood The emergency vehicle at the end of the clip was one of my spotters who was relaying his reports via the ham radio and police radio. We had to evacuate a large festival in Matteson which it crossed over Ill never forget this day first time in 10 years of being a net controller we tracked multiple tornado in one day.

[liquidstl]

WOW At 3:55 .... that is wicked

[wentzcantsaveyou]

I live over on the border of Indiana and Illinois, by Hammond and South Chicago. That was my 15th birthday. We were planning on going to the movies but because of the warnings, we aren't allowed until 9:00. Then I got to go for free.! That storm was frightening.

[Jamiesyme999]

[bearsfan213]

o wow i remember this storm. i was at my baseball game pitching in the bottom of the 4th then all of the sudden there was a HUGE lightning bolt and i looked up and the sky was black then we were all forced to evacuate the field due to lightning and obviously servere weather then we started driving home and the tornado sirens went off and we heard on the weather there was a confirmed tornado...and by the way i live in the western suburbs so this storm came right over us

[veronica9585]

Ahhh I remember this storm cuz it happened during the Bellmont Stakes and I was trying to watch to see if the horse I bet on won and it kept going out because of the tornado warnings! This is SUCH a cool video tho. What town was this?

[salemme]
