It was at least an hour of straight downpour. Wild.

We got nothing

 

[Bru]

Got off easy here, but grass needs the rain.

 

[Mook]

No power in slumtown.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

It came down so freaking hard for 10 minutes with what seemed like 50 mph wind gusts, then gone. So far we've had 3 power outages.

Next round incoming

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Camera is set up, but don't have a good clear angle for the direction it is coming, so don't think I'll be able to get any decent lightning shots. I'll see what I can get though.

 

[CMNTMXR57]

Forgot this. Shortly after that first burst, we all piled in the Suburban and went and got dinner. We're at Bowes and McLean here in Elgin. Some tardfarmer in a red, V6 powered dodge challenger (with shitty sounding aftermarket exhaust), is right in front of us. Left turn arrow goes green, this darwin award candidate decides to light them up, starts to drift through the intersection only to not let off when it got too far out of control and completely spins it around. I almost got rear ended by the F-150 behind me as I braked.

U are good to go since 10:30

And now the next day. Drained well the engineers did good on the drainage. Just wild when we get hammered in a short period.

Should just turn that farm land into a man made lake. I need some lakefront.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

You say lake... I see short motorcycle track and shooting range ?

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

Just started to rain here. Oddly, it began with pea-sized hail mixed in.

 

[The Beast]

Glad I cut the grass and fertilized in the morning

 

[The Beast]

Saved me some coin from watering

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

Well this afternoon may be interesting

DE FUCKING RECHO MOTHER FUCKERS

Fucking crazy we post it at the same time

 

[Mook]

I like what Indiana looks like as this storm moves out of IL...like all or northern IN is covered in fuck.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Shit like that usually breaks up when it gets to the lake.

 

[Mook]

Go watch the radar, it aint breaking up

 

[Mook]

Then again, IL Storm Chasers are spreading the end of days so its likely going to be nothing.

 

[SpeedSpeak2me]

NWS is downplaying it for the western burbs

Even Weather Underground isn't all that hyped about it for this area:
