From NWS Chicago: -During the late evening into early overnight of Sunday, June 20, storms increased in intensity rapidly as they moved toward and into the Chicago metropolitan area, with damaging winds and three tornadoes. -The most significant damage impacted southwest suburbs of Naperville, Woodridge, Darien, Burr Ridge, and Willow Springs between 11:00 and 11:30 pm, where a preliminary EF-3 tornado damaged ~230 homes, downed thousands of trees, and caused at least 11 injuries. -The Naperville to Willow Springs tornado is the first significant tornado (rating of EF-2 or greater) to occur in the NWS Chicago County Warning Area since February 28, 2017 (Naplate/Ottawa), and the first EF-2+ tornado to occur in the Chicago metro counties since June 22, 2015 (Coal City). -An EF-0 tornado with peak winds of 85 mph and path length of 3.2 miles touched down in Plainfield and lifted in Romeoville. Tree damage was common along the path of the tornado. -A second EF-0 tornado with peak winds of 75 mph and path length of 3.3 miles touched down near South Haven, Indiana and caused primarily tree damage.
Holy Moly! I missed this one. We had some severe activity in Michigan Sunday night, but apparently nothing like what was happening to our west. I usually keep up on Skywarn nets through my scanner app, but had no idea this was happening. Thoughts and prayers to all who were affected.
I learned that people in the Chicago suburbs do not take this seriously after this convo with my boyfriend Me: Did you guys have sirens? Him: Yes. It sounded like a wartime air raid siren. Really ominous Me: We’re gonna work on your response to the storm sirens Him: Lol what should I have done instead? I was already in the basement which is the most sheltered area Me: Tell your parents..? That tornado sirens are going off? Him: I texted them but I’m pretty sure they had been asleep for an hour or two by that point Me: I say again, we really need to work on your response to tornado sirens
Outdoor warning sirens shouldn't be depended on to be the primary way of receiving the warnings. The best way is a NOAA Weather Radio, along with smartphone warnings apps.
@@ILoveOldTWC smartphone warning app went off five minutes earlier than the sirens lol. I had my phone so close to my head that I heard ringing of the emergency alert for the rest of the day😂
Every other time when sheltering in the basement, my cat sits at the top of the stairs crying to go hide under my bed on the second floor. Last night was the first time he got halfway up the stairs and decided the basement was a better option.
That's why TV stations need there own Doppler Radar instead using NWS Radars Chicago is top 5 TV Media market not only Chicago others top cities markets too. it's sad weather coverage has go down last 10 years including OKC TV market since Gary England retired even tho OKC TV market still good but not great like it was 1980s 1990s 2000s and early 2010s there lots reason why TV stations unstalling Doppler Radars because maintenance and repair cost but today people get there TV from streaming and they don't watch network television that much or never at all now days so that trend will not end
46:42 even tho is not a tornado warning Severe thunderstorm warning text says go to interior room on the lowest floor Juist like a tornado warning text says too

finally it has been months since a new video
I was wondering why I was getting rocked to sleep in my semi truck
I don’t if I should laugh or cry😭
@@LifeAsAalisha just laugh. It isn't the first time. I can read what nature is doing lol.
Good to see you're back stormspottermike! I pray for the people who were affected, injured, and killed in this event.
No body had died happily
I’ve got to remember WGN when I’m out spotting. I saw this pass over 355 last night.
18:00 sooo close to Chicago but He hasn’t said Chicago one time

Good coverage, thanks for the excellent insight!

Thank you Stormspoter Mike for video of this coverage.

i was in DuPage at the time and i got the warning
I'm 3 miles away from Darien I didn't get hit hard it was just heavy rain and some wind
At least the area received much-needed rain. The area is in a drought.
true true. But the whole tornado was not necessary
@@Jaden_Iarusso Of course not.
It was near me😳
(Lansing Illinois)
(42 Minutes away)
@@Ichigoat19 even scarier for me. 3 minutes away
@@_Kevin_1 damn
So that’s what what took my trampoline
Why is Calumet on the radar twice? South of Chicago, and east of Thornton. For reference: 6:09.
Probably some sort of mapping issue.
