    i was in this we were getting out of school when the storm hit. i remember looking outside and it was all green and the sky was black. i tornado went rite through my neighbor. luckily, no one was injured. it doesnt seem too bad where you were at the time. by us the tornado sirens were going off and lighting was striking the power lines causing power outages and fires. the rain put the fires out though :) that was the scariest storm i have ever been through. happy i wasnt hurt :) :) :) :)

  14. HurricaneFreak30336 says:

    the tornado crossed right in front of you, too.

  15. KelticKnot70 says:

    Yeah, I live on the south side and the tornado that went through Richton Park missed my neighborhood by about 3 miles.

  16. KelticKnot70 says:

    No, its the Des Plaines / Park Ridge area just north of the O’Hare Airport

  17. LaurenHelene says:

    lol, i agree.

    & you got that tornado too =P

  18. spike378 says:

    thats near woodfield?

    Traffic slows to 5 mph on the Tri State no matter what. At least a tornado would offer some entertainment. We’re supposed to get them tomorrow, too (Fri. June 6). Always adds a little excitement to the day — unless of course one hits my house in Wicker Park. It’s a miniscule chance of that, I know, but that would no longer be exciting. It would pass into the category of “Sucking Big Time.”

    As memory serves, it was between Golf and Touhy.

    lmao thats not somethin to be proud of, ur puttin ur life as well as others lives in danger

  22. HM3Johnsgirl says:

    Rain, snow, or shine doesn’t stop California drivers to go 90 and be there by 9 lol. It’s true you go about 90 on the interstate no matter where your at and in all weather conditions.

  23. AllenC040170 says:

    Where on the Tri State was this located at?

  24. timmo2k says:

    at least in america you have the sense to slow down.

    in europe we would carry on at full speed until theres a crash.

    so much for you americans being the stupid ones!

    Besides the storm, looks like another typical drive on I-294 to me!
