Clocked several 75+ MPH wind gusts here in N.E. Will County -- got pretty hairy here for awhile.
Just saw the pictures of Pekin, Streator and Washington (SW of Joliet) .... all or parts of those towns were completely levelled.
Entire neighborhoods were flattened & turned into kindling .... waiting to hear of any relief efforts to head down there.
Had some 50+ mph winds here. We were lucky. Prayers up for the folks in that part of the state.
