OO I like that post! Muy macho! ;)) And absolutely right~~on ALL counts!!
Thanks JP. Now I can get some rest. Nothing like trying to go to sleep after hearing about an xray proof suitcase being tossed out a car window in Chicago before going to bed! Check you all tomorrow. Stay safe everyone.
Thanks for pinging me on that thread. I might have missed it.
If I hear anything, I'll let you know. CLTV news is updating the storm news at the moment.
You okay in the storm? I guess they don't call it the windy city for nothing.
Goodnight.
Thak you for this post....i think...
My first thought was white supremacists but now I'm wondering just a dry run or did they have to ditch it. High crime area, not far from where the Sox play, very close! I'm thinking someone was paid to deliver, or who knows how many things may have gone wrong...
Very sad.
Thank you all4one.
I'll be watching for follow-up on this story.
our city streets were flooded and I was stuck but a mi from home listening to the radio in the car with Kinetic
A storm complex like the one that moved through Chicago can have devastating effects, similar to a hurricane. It was a big-time 'bow-echo' before it got to Chicago. The weather has been acting oddly throughout the northern states this summer. Looks like a possible tornado outbreak or major wind event in the ohio valley tomorrow.
You went through Andrew? That must have been very intense, the eye wall was basically a 40 mile wide F3/F4 tornado. The US has been getting off lucky the past several years in regards to big canes (cat 4 or 5), the strongest have been hitting unpopulated areas. Alex whipped itself up quite fast last night, looks like we may have a very active August/September.
hey, how was the storm? ;)
U.S. CELLULAR FIELD

Just a few short blocks from where the verified bomb was found
Update:
Around 11 p.m., police announced that the device was not incendiary in nature.

the report on WBBM radio was it in fact was shielded
Thankfully, Andrew was a rare dry and very fast moving storm system. I was in the national guard then and the scary part was after the storm. Most of which never came to public light.
Hmmm, keep me updated please. I want to know what was in the suitcase, what it looked like (I heard bottle and wires earlier). I wonder if this was just a test. All the interesting (odd) stories are happening at night when no one is covering anything. Then they get stifled and we never hear anything of it again
Bump Imp!
