Kiss My Irish Arse! At least I got a car and a cell phone and know how to drive! The rest of these jamokes in ChiTown cant drive with a $hit

Traffic slows to 5 mph on the Tri State no matter what. At least a tornado would offer some entertainment. We're supposed to get them tomorrow, too (Fri. June 6). Always adds a little excitement to the day -- unless of course one hits my house in Wicker Park. It's a miniscule chance of that, I know, but that would no longer be exciting. It would pass into the category of "Sucking Big Time."

Yeah, I live on the south side and the tornado that went through Richton Park missed my neighborhood by about 3 miles.

I was downtown when it hit. It's scary.

Where's the tornado? Looks like a regular Chicago rainstorm.

i was in this we were getting out of school when the storm hit. i remember looking outside and it was all green and the sky was black. i tornado went rite through my neighbor. luckily, no one was injured. it doesnt seem too bad where you were at the time. by us the tornado sirens were going off and lighting was striking the power lines causing power outages and fires. the rain put the fires out though :) that was the scariest storm i have ever been through. happy i wasnt hurt :) :) :) :)
