  • ya i won't really run from something like this.. i've always been into the weather and i would love to learn more about tornadoes. i will have my skywarn cert soon, since tornado season is over. but next year. i will catch my tornado.

  • i am lookin for someone to do some storm chasing with. Must have a minmum of skywarn training. SEROIUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE. please message me if you like to meet and arrange something.

  • welcom to chicago

  • how bout it lol..

  • More than likely this is what the developement of the April 21, 1967 tornado that hit Oak Lawn, Evergreen Park, and Hometown looked like as that one started in Palos Hills, jumped the tollway, came through what is now teh Chicago Ridge Mall, and raced up 95th St killing most of it's victims at 95th and SW Highway...this particular storm was part of the derecho that came out of Iowa and NW Illinois racing SE through the entire Chicago area and into Indiana.there were over 8,000 lightning strikes.

  • wow!! i've done a lot of research on that tornado and i know there's only one known video of that tornado, and i've been looking for it for a long time.. but to no avail.. i didn't know though there were that many strikes.. that storm that day was insane and thats one i know i'll never forget

see all

    Yes, actually, I've found it. It's called the Belvidere Tornado, but I think it's the same one. Look up "Terror in Oak Lawn". There is also a live video cast of it. Google "Voice of the Tornado". Very, very creepy.

  • yeah, I'd be running from that thing.

  • I remember that!

  • I was driving to flordia

  • I was at Moraine Valley when this thing started coming down, it was right on top of the campus. I never ran and drove so fast in my life.

  • DAM NATURE U SCAREY!
