road out the storm at a game shop in the northern suburbs... was fun cause the air conditioning channeled the sound of the thunder straight into the room for great background music.

Robin and I just snuggled up and watched the storm. It was awesome and beautiful and a little scary. But romantic too.

Good to hear no one was hurt. From what I hear, don't quote me, something like 250,000 have no power and might me without electricity for days... This isn't even the peak of storm season either. :-?

Was at T-Time when the storm struck, we didn't even notice until we were already walking out and got drenched. Lucky for me the bus was right on the corner!
I am starting a new ts and gay support group close to your house! I hope you will join me and the girls!

That storm was crazy.
The power kept going out,
it fucked up my alarm.
I was all late to work 'shit.

nothing major to report from the NW Suburbs, so I guess I am ok too.

Tornado spotted and warnings all over the Chicago area tonight.

Over 200,000 people are currently without power, as reported by Comm Ed, from the high winds and very strong thunderstorms
and flooding,

a tornado reportedly touched down 15 miles outside of Chicago.

Millions take cover from winds of 50 to up to 75
miles per hour and very dangerous thunderstorms.


Trees down and high water in streets are causing major
traffic delays, especially as fans leave the packed Cubs
Game at Wrigley Field.

As the sun rises tomorrow, light will shine on significant
more damage through Northern illinois and into Indiana.
