Thanks for asking! We are fine nothing but heavy rain hit our area We are apx 35 southwest of Chicago. The bad storms were just to the east , north and northeast of us and Chicago itself, we were spared. the bad storms were all around and for once we were lucky and in the right spot.

Good to know you guys missed that!! Boy this weather pattern is out of whack, no? Tornadoes and heavy rain in August? Maybe my memory of living there fails me....I vaguely remember a few ominous grey/green skies leading to tornado warnings, but not in mid summer? 73s

That was a really bad one in this area, it destroyed a High School, quite a few people were killed.
