Oh My Gosh! Rev White is back in town. Unretirement of Reverend Wright
Prayers for anyone in the path..
Tornado continues confirmed in Richton Park, now in very dense residential areas.
/johnny
Take shelter, Chicago!
Prayers for all!!!
Prayers for those in the path. How close to Tinley park where Rev. Wright’s mansion is?
A HUGE tornado entering S. Chicago 'burbs, just a year or so ago after a HUGE tornado (and his wife and preacher) left Chicago threatening HUGE destruction all over every City and State of this great Nation.
Stuck this in “Breaking” for the ChiTown FReepers.
If it hits Rev. Wright’s home, will Sharon Stone be available to make her standard, “Karma comes back to bite ya!” comment?
*SMIRK*
He’s Wright in the path the tornado is on a path heading NE between Joliet and Kankakee.
From Google Earth this looks like the suburbs of Chicago.
Tinley Park is not in the path of this Tornado.

Prayers for those in harm’s way.
It just looked like it to me.
We have been under a tornado watch since mid-afternoon. Sirens went off but didn’t see a tornado here.
Weather Underground link...how ironic.
Wow. I noticed the White Sox game got stopped for rain. I have family is Addison. Hope everything is OK there.
Thanks for the link. I saw “wunderground” and almost reflexively thought it had something to do with Obama. I had been watching the radar on NWS.

Be safe. Then report when you can.
Jung's synchronicity. Nothing is truly coincidental.
Seems continuous all the way for some time.
Appears to have weakened on radar very recently.
That mess is headed my way (southern MI) and the western half of the state is under a tornado watch. The worst of yesterday’s storms just missed us and — miracle of miracles — our power didn’t go out. A pigeon sneezing can cause a power outage in my area.
It’s hard not to worry about the power. I’ve got a deep freeze full of food for my son’s open house on the 21st!!
This should give a zoomed in map. You may have to click animate...
Our earth may move out here; but the freakin’ AIR attacks you there!!
That long red line to the left is just arriving at our residence, about an hour ESE of LaCrosse...and it’s already been an “exciting” meteorological kind of day.

Check the regional radar on AccuWeather—it looks ugly.
Still looks super strong just north of Lynwood.
That long red line to the left is just arriving at our residence, about an hour ESE of LaCrosse...and it’s already been an “exciting” meteorological kind of day.
No damage here, mostly rain and some wind.
(I'm also a trained weather spotter and amateur radio operator, so I was outside looking at the skies while all this was going on around me..)
On there it looks like the most severe color in the middle did get smaller but then grew again.
I have family up in Sheboygan and in Chicago, although the Chicago folks look to be not in the path of the reported tornado, which sounds horrible.
Crap! My sister lives about a half a mile from Wright's home. I better call.
Yeah, the tornado is still on the ground. Looks to clip NW Indiana.
