One heck of a storm came through last night. Started with heavy cloud rotation right over my place. I thought for sure we were screwed. First thing to go was one of the satellite dishes from the roof. Skip around for some good lightning caps and toward the end you can see a transformer blowing up in the distance. One hell of a light show!

EDIT: Found out this morning the rotation was the tornado. It touched down briefly in Bolingbrook - just a few miles away.

  • yeaa that shit was SCARY AS HELL I was in glendale heights at the time at my boyfriend with my 2 month old (at the time) and we were watching it from his deck and it was far away and then all of a sudden the sky turned a crazy green color and the siren when off and he lives literally ONE block away from where they do the siren...I dont NOT like that siren...expecially that loud...I almost crapped my pants that night...haha

  • Yup. Was indeed nuts.

  • And YOU'RE illiterate.

  • That was a doosy of a storm! Drove up the SW end of the Boughton road this morning and there was a lot of damage. We're less that 2 miles away from the touch down and at this time we were moving to the basement - after the wife told me to get the kids out of the bath. Can't believe how fast it came in as just 15 minutes before we were out in the back yard playing....

    It was quite a lightning show!

  • Indeed it was! After the power went out... and killed my XBOX 360 fun... I spent the next few hours just watching the lights.
