She really did, I was watching it live as well and all of them Cheryl Scott, Phil Schwarz, Larry Mowry, and of course Greg Dutra reporting from Woodridge was just so informative. I love channel 7 because of their weather team
I watched the live coverage as well. And as a Skywarn spotter I have no doubt that Cheryl and the crew's repeated comments of go to your "safe place" saved lives
3:14 My house was under that red line (Bailey road, essentially). My original worry was closing my van windows before the rain came. It turned our that the rain went "down" horizontally. Amazing horizontal rain. Never seen the 100 year red oak in my front yard move its limbs like that. Hardly any breakage on that tree. Two lots away the fire station with its siren blaring had a 40-ft 2-ft diameter pine land on its roof. They removed it today. I liked it just the way it was though.
I was also right under that red line. That rain was absolutely insane. And the winds were so loud. It was crazy. Not much damage on my street, just a few things here and there but definitely a lot a couple blocks away. The houses over by the old ide Christmas tree farm had a lot of damage. Glad everyone was okay though
This tornado tracked just two blocks north of where I live. Correction to what was reported here in that the EF3 damage actually occurred in Naperville, although both Naperville and Woodridge sustained heavy damage. Certainly not Mayfield, KY level damage but bad none the less. Given such a highly populated area and a nighttime tornado, it was really a miracle it wasn't much worse.
This was a scary one and as recorded a more powerful tornado than originally thought. Was watching it live on the news. Hearing every reporter telling those in the western burbs to "get to shelter immediately - we have a confirmed tornado on the ground" and reports that passengers at Midway Airport were running for the tornado shelter areas there was also scary. The more I learn about this tornado the more terrifying it is. Advanced warning systems thankfully saved a lot of people since this could have been much worse. And seeing that was on the ground for 15 miles and headed toward the city is also something to think about...
@cucamonga41 no offense but u both are idiots who ask to be killed. I live in Lincolnwood and our sirens went off. We got to shelter. Theres a reason for the sirens this isnt a joke
the job these meterologists did was fantastic,just watching those babies playing in the background of this broadcast made this old man,cry ,your area alerts and your staying on the channel makes it all worthwhile,you people are a credit to your station and locale outstanding job,people sitting at home scared to death and your dedication,well take a bow,early warning is everything,yeah take a bow
Thanks God everyone okay but was real scare experience not fun at all bcz I live only minutes away from where this monster touched dirt sound was super loud and a lot rain 😬
I was 10 mins away wen the tornado hit ground. I was in a car with my 7 year old. I was on my way to chicago after celebrating fathers day and I never though this could be possible. The rain was really bad, the air was pushing my car side ways and the most scary part was wen all the lights wen of and car was moving so bad, for a min a though we were going to die. I had the feeling the tornado was near us, but we couldn't see anything. My son was crying and I was shaking like I never did before. 😞😞
I was watching youtube in Burger King and went home about 9:00. Gray skies but everything was perfectly normal. I fell asleep and about 11:30 I was woken by Tornado Sirens. I looked outside and paid attention to the weather. I turned on the radio and it was saying danger areas were both north and south of me. North of Chicago into Winnetka and South by Naperville, Woodridge, DownersGrove. I am terrified now of everything it seems. At least we don't have earthquakes which I hear are VERY Scary.
Oh it's not so bad. Been in 4. Once downtown San Francisco at work. I bolted took the stairs everyone followed. Never take elevator. Other ones just rolling. Now I'm here in northern California we had one in Truckee felt it rolling here in Marysville. We will get some, near a sleeping volcano, had tornado warning few years ago, oh well. Just keep gas tank full go bags backed and run for the hills. Hope u stay safe. Take care.
355 actually. I was wondering that as well especially like semis I mean tornadoes can easily pick up those trailers and throw them. I did see yesterday night a couple accidents along 355 on Google Maps after the tornado came through so I’m going to guess it did cause a few accidents
All you did in this video is say the same thing 3 times. It's like you just read the copy that NWS released last night. The same copy that everyone else quoted.
YOU AS NEWS CREW NEED TO TELL PEOPLE DON'T OPEN WINDOWS IN YOUR HOUSE WHEN THE TORNADO WATCH OR WARNINGS GO OFF IF YOU OPEN YOU WINDOWS IT WILL TAKE YOUR HOUSE PLEASE LET PEOPLE KNOW THIS BECAUSE I LIVED IN OKLAHOMA AND I ASKED MY FAMILY AND THEY SAID YOU OPEN YOUR WINDOWS THIS IS FALSE KEEP YOUR WINDOWS CLOSED!!!! PLEASE TELL EVERYONE IT CAN SAVE LIVES!!!!!!
No they’re not. This was just a very powerful tornado. It destroyed brick as well did you not see the garage of that church? All brick and completely destroyed
I watched Cheryl Scott explain it live as it was happening and she did a great thorough job. Hope she gets a raise for her dedicated work.

The last time I saw horizontal rain was in 1990 during the Plainfield Il F5 Tornado. 💯👀
I definitely understand your amazement!

The air raid siren woke me up at 10:45, so I closed my windows and went back to bed.

It was actually 10:43
Ignorance is bliss..............
It’s ridiculous how lucky my Neighborhood is, the Tornado was 18 - 24 Mins away from the south of us.
Lol same

It was close to us to say the least

Thank GOODNESS i live in Downers Grove. Many sympathies to those injured & affected. 😢🙏
I used to work at Argonne, then commute north on 355. This looks like it went right through that area. Crazy.
It did, the tornado actually was on the ground when it crossed 355
The Rochelle EF4 was the worst in recent years.
I mean. An EF3 tornado still packs a powerful punch.
Thanks Phil! You said last night that if a tornado does hit, it would be just a F0-F1. Turned out to be a F3
Brett Miller (ch.5) was spewing the same b.s .
Considering that hadn’t happened since the 1970’s in that area don’t blame the weather guy that he didn’t get the exact tornado strength 🙄
As Daughtry would say, “I was blown away, what could I say? I'll blow it away, blow it away.”
Tornados don't usually happen at night.
So looking up into the sky to see them is almost impossible.
VERY Scary.
Well at least we don't have earthquakes. That's the scariest thing ever. Earthquakes>any natural disaster (except maybe tsunamis)
tell that to all the residents of Moore OK and surrounding areas. To Jarrell TX and others.
Well good thing I didn’t get hit by the tornado because It was far away i’m from Elmhurst il So good thing my area is safe during that storm
they should have issued a tornado watch
It crossed i55? No cars were flipped off the expressway?

Fortunately usually not a lotta traffic at that time of night.

I was falling asleep as the tornado touched down within walking distance.
Is it just me or does it bother anyone else when someone can’t pronounce everyday words like, significant, Debris etc.
Curly is right. Its just you.
She's just a pretty women. Doesn't mean she knows anything significant. Journalism is dead.
@Curly Howard you sure you looked around and not just asked Larry and Moe
@@pondartinc4002 it’s*
That's our education system, ain't no one know how to pronounce dem words.
