I live in illinois and I think most of it missed me. I think I might get hit with part of the storm later tonight but not the center of it where it's really bad. It's hotter than hell over here. I live about 2.5 hours from Chicago (Southwest)

I live in southern WI, it's pretty bad. Super loud thunder, very bright lightning, and tornadoes all over.

I'm about an hour out from chicago and so far there's only been about 10 min of heavy rain so it's been quite a bit nicer than I thought it was going to be. Weather.com says there's some nasty shit coming tonight though.

I'm 45 minutes NW of Chicago. A bit of rain and wind but the storm split and went north and south of me. I think this means I'm Moses and I just don't know it

I'm in Ottawa, im safe.

South Chicago, here. Nothing crazy. Rain and loud thunder, but nothing close to the "baseball-sized" hail I heard rumors of.

Central Indiana. Hasn't hit, but the futurecasts just show green in my area... and the storm appears to be moving straight east.

Stay safe, and make sure your computers and such are unplugged just in case. And stay safe.

Pls don't die thorn ur my bday twinsy

It's supposed to hit Ohio in a few more hours, hopefully it won't be as bad when it hits us.

Literally nothing happened where I live in Illinois yet.

How boring.

It's still like 90 fucking degrees out too.

Hour from Chicago, so far a hour of heavy rain, lightning and thunder but it's calm for now.

30 minutes south of Chicago, most of the heavy rain and lightning is gone, but I still cant play during a storm without lagging my ass off.

literally waiting for the tornados sirens to go off

kind of sad when this is the most exciting thing to happen lately

I can hear thunder, no rain yet but it's as dark as fuck
- In Chicago

Oh shit I'm in Ohio. Sounds like it's headed my way.

I'm in Illinois and my town barely missed it

bout an hour north, only dark now. i can't believe the number of people who left their cars outside. such massive hail.

keep tabs on the news, man. it's good to be cautious even with the possibility of nothing happening.

Suns still out and nothing is happening. (Northeast Ohio)

It is very dark here and has cooled a lot, but not much else - we're supposed to get pretty epic wind so hopefully I don't get crushed by trees (thanks beetles for killing several of my trees ;()

- NE Indiana, according to the satillites everything is going to go to hell on the Mi-In border, thankfully I'm an hour away from that.

Also if my garden has a tree fall on it again I will be most displeased. Rip garden 2012

tornado watch and flash flood warning a bit north of chicago

North central indiana.

It's pretty overcast and really humid but beyond that its been a normal summer day so far

i live in NW indiana, but pretty close to where you mentioned and we're getting a ton of lighting and thunder, rain and hail. wind probably coming, maybe tornados.

Northwestern Wisconsin.

Tons of rain this morning, and then a slight shower in the afternoon, humid as fuck.

if you're in chicago please add me i must acquire beer from your area, thank you and have a nice day and be safe

Live near Chicago, storm is over. Was fucking scary though.

Champaign area is pretty nice right now, doesn't seem too stormy.

Hiding under a phucking tree while being yelled at by the family after taking the dog for a walk in the hail... I hate people ._.

I didn't even realize there was a storm until I saw this thread earlier
