Would this by chance be hitting anywhere near the home of one Marxist by the name of Barak?
Thanks to this crap we ended up cancelling our dinner reservations. I’m going to be staying inside all day. Hopefully I won’t end up in Oz.
What, is Rudy G. scheduled to speak in Chicago this evening?
Certified spotter, here! I’ll probably be “on post” in NW Will county (Homer Glen). If there is any excitement, I’ll FReep it in tne morning.
75 MPH? The highest winds I’ve experienced here were around 60, and that was bad enough. It definitely should be an interesting night.
Our forecast in South eastern Michigan calls for possible severe weather in the early morning hours. We’ve has a wind advisory all day so far.
If you're a HAM and can monitor ESMARN that would be great. It's likely the MCWA Spotter Network will be activated and we can use all the help we can get.

As long as every hole is east to west you should get some pretty long tee shots.

...DAMAGING THUNDERSTORM WINDS POSSIBLE ACROSS NORTHERN ILLINOIS
AND NORTHWEST INDIANA THIS EVENING...
A SQUALL LINE OR SOLID LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OVER NORTHERN ILLINOIS THIS EVENING. THE GREATEST
SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FROM THESE STORMS IS DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
AROUND 80 TO 90 MPH. THIS STORMS WILL EVOLVE FROM SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS IOWA AND
NORTHWEST ILLINOIS AND THEN RACE TO THE EAST NORTH-EAST.
ISOLATED TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS AS WELL...
HOWEVER THE RISK OF TORNADOES WILL DIMINISH AS THESE STORMS
COME FARTHER EAST ACROSS ILLINOIS AND WE GET LATER INTO THE
EVENING. PRELIMINARY ESTIMATES ON THE TIMING OF THESE STORMS
IS AS FOLLOWS: ROCKFORD... ORGEON... AND DIXON BETWEEN 7 AND 10
PM...CHICAGO... WAUKEGAN.. AURORA... JOLIET... OTTAWA... AND
PONTIAC BETWEEN 9 PM AND 12 MIDNIGHT... AND VALPARAISO...
GARY...RENSSELAER...KANKAKEE... AND WATSEKA BETWEEN 11 PM AND 2
AM.
THESE STORMS ARE BEING DRIVEN BY AN UNUSUALLY STRONG STORM SYSTEM
ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS. THIS STORM SYSTEM IS WINTER LIKE
IN TERMS OF ITS WIND ENERGY...WITH WINDS OVER 100 MPH IN THE
UPPER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE. THIS WIND ENERGY COMBINED WITH
ABUNDANT MOISTURE STREAMING NORTH AHEAD OF A COLD FRONT AND
HIGH INSTABILITY PROMPTED BY VERY WARM AIR NEAR THE GROUND AND
COLDER AIR ALOFT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR EXPLOSIVE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. THE GREATER MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL SPILL
EASTWARD INTO NORTHERN ILLINOIS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS THE COLD FRONT ADVANCES EAST.
A COMPLICATING WEATHER FACTOR WITH THIS SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL
IS WARM TEMPERATURES ALOFT...REFERRED TO AS A CAP. THIS CAP
PREVENTS THUNDERSTORMS FROM DEVELOPING. THIS CAP WILL KEEP
MOST LOCATIONS DRY UNTIL IT WEAKENS WHEN THE COLD FRONT GETS
CLOSER TO THE AREA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING.
ALL INTERESTS ARE ADVISED TO MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND PLAN
NOW WHAT TO DO IN THE EVENT OF A SEVERE WEATHER WARNING. HAVE
A NOAA WEATHER RADIO IN ALERT MODE TO GET RAPID NOTIFICATION OF
ANY WARNINGS BEING ISSUED. KEEP AN EYE TO THE SKY...AND BE
PREPARED TO MOVE QUICKLY INDOORS AWAY FROM WINDOWS TO A PLACE OF
SAFETY WHEN STORMS APPROACH.

I'll be doing the same in DuPage. If you're a HAM, please check in on the ESMARN net or use your local spotter frequency to contact the DuPage EOC.
They'll be looking for storm and damage reports and can use all the help they can get.
Stay safe.

Looking like Wisconsin is getting hammered right now. I don't look forward to this hitting after dark...
