Official Tornado and Runaway Barge Thread

bertwing maybe a correction, news is saying the Hampton Inn got hit but the only Hampton here in town is right in the center away from the storm’s track, I was thinking of the Hilton Garden Inn downtown.

Barnsdall on the news now looks really bad, triage site setup and significant damage to homes

 

D2 regionals at the country club. The trees out there are really old and usually don’t do well in storms with any wind so I’m expecting a good amount of limb damage

 

It looks like an apocalypse

 

Not liking tomorrow's set up. Should have a new outlook around noon from the spc

 

That looks very similar to the aftermath in Joplin a few years ago.



if anyone needs more evidence of why you get to an interior room… Goodness.

 

EF2 maybe? Vehicles aren’t flipped or badly damaged. The houses that were destroyed look like cement block foundations. Any word yet regarding injuries/fatalities? This must have been a nightmare for those people.

 

Mayor confirmed one fatality as of this morning. Search and rescue continuing today

 

Damn!

 

That was my first thought, and it’s probably right.

 

No Day 2 upgrades with the latest update. Looks like hail could be pretty bad though.

 

Seeing lots of people on twitter say homes in Barnsdall were not properly anchored

 

I’d say high end 3 to low 4

 

We’re even getting shit weather in Chicago now man wtf I can’t escape it

 

Yeah local weather was suggesting it could get upgraded past enhanced but we'll see in the morning I guess.

 

This house was lucky.

 

WTF Michigan

 

Built different

 

Damn

 

Michigan going crazy right now

 

Not far from where I grew up and where my dad still lives

 

Screenshot from a video my step mom sent me. About 10 minutes west of my hometown

 

I guess the storm that passed over Chicago went over the lake and got much worse. It hailed here

 

Fuck man
