Local news saying that this is very unusual. 110 mph gusts possible.
Tornado popping off around Rockford.
In the hospital with my wife and newborn daughter. Perfectly safe here in Kane County, but it is starting to cloud up.

Yeah as if you are a business man sleeping in hotels around the country. Not buying it.

The strongest derecho I've seen in a few years. A lot of 70+ mph wind reports behind this thing, with one gust over 110 mph in Iowa. It'll come fast, get windy as hell for a few minutes at most and then rain behind it. I'd be inside.

My uncle used to go to Chicago on business once or twice a month. In winter he would have to dodge chunks of ice falling off the buildings.

A couple of years back I flew up there on an afternoon flight. Immediately went into a business dinner that turned into an all night drink fest. Got up the next morning on two hours sleep and hit all morning business meetings.
Went back to my high rise downtown hotel after lunch and crashed out. Was awakened around 4:00 in the afternoon by an unbelievable amount of noise that lasted a couple of minutes. Got up and got dressed for dinner, walked downstairs to learn that a damn tornado had come straight down the Miracle Mile main drag. I almost completely slept through it. shite was big time torn up. That city gets hit with all kinds of shenanigans.
Anyone else have any boring Chicago stories?

We had a derecho here in Tennessee a couple months back. That shite was no joke. Our neighborhood got demolished by 80 mph winds.

Didn't we have a real strong one in BR 4-5 years ago? That was some of the worst weather I can recall being in for about 10-15 minutes that wasn't a hurricane.

If you don't like the weather in (fill in your city/state here), then wait 5 minutes!!

It didn't meet the rigorous definition but that was a derecho in terms of effects and how it acted.
There are reports with this one today there might be some strong winds trailing. Radar suggests as much. The front end is producing some incredible wind in a few locations. Got 126 mph showing up just 1000 feet off the ground.
ETA: That big wind reading is an apparent embedded tornado.

Just lost power in the hospital. Took a few min to come back on. Watching the storm on the Ring doorbell camera and through the hospital window. Pretty intense but nothing crazy.
I’ve seen worse storms in this area.
I took about 5 minutes to pass through. Now it’s just rain.
