Can't bring myself to let Lori make me be outraged at the beachgoers when she still won't close the fucking bars

 

Well, the ones that don’t serve food can’t open indoors anymore, but yeah I can think of a bunch of other comparisons that floor me.

 

There are ways around this. I walked down Rush Street last night and bars that don’t normally serve food and therefore shouldn’t be open were open because they set up a taco stand outside to circumvent the no food can’t open rule.

Also, one of the nightclubs on Rush Street (I’m pretty sure it’s called Detention) was open with people inside which is definitely a place that should not be open.

 

idk how alarmist this is but dropping it here anyway

 

They’re already clocking 100 mph winds in Iowa so seems like it’s gonna be bad

 

jeeeeeez

 

I WAS gonna go for a run but perhaps not.

 

Everyone stay safe out there!

 

This is basically an EF-1 tornado that is hundreds of miles wide

 

Excited to spend all night hoping one of my neighbor's many tall, unhealthy trees doesn't fall on our power line.

 

Tornado sirens going off in Northbrook

stay safe all

 

To think I was planning on walking home from work today... now I’m riding in a 3x surge uber. Cool.

 

Same in Lombard.

 

I live in Lincoln Square and things seem fine. Friends southeast of me in Lakeview/Buena Park say that it's picking up near them.

Stay safe, everyone!

 

It was super windy where I was and storming but that’s all. I’m in the heart of the city so no tornado sightings.

 

Damage is actually way more than I thought on the north side. Some pretty big branches down and a glass door storefront blown out on Ravenswood

 

Been without power since 4:00 in Logan Square. Nearby damage doesn’t seem bad, though.

 

Still no power at my house, so I drove around this morning to charge my phone, and the worst of this missed me by like a quarter mile. Some huge trees down.

 

National Weather Service says Rogers Park had a confirmed tornado

 

There’s still like 400k without power

 

Still no power for me as well. Drove out to my parents' place in the suburbs to work remotely today.

 

Com-Ed says it could take “days” to fully restore everything as they are assessing all the damage Caused. I live in the south subs and we lost power at like 4 yesterday right before the storm actually hit. Then sometime between 11pm and 2am Comcast went out. I have power Cuz the place I live has a generator that auto kicks on when the power goes out. So power but no internet
