Seven Tornados touched down on the Chicago metro area during the bizarre ‘derecho’ storm which batters the area on Monday night.
As WGNTV reports:
CHICAGO — At least seven tornadoes touched down across Chicago area as a strong “derecho” storm system crossed the region Monday night, including one that passed through Chicago’s city limits, according to the National Weather Service.
A long-lived thunderstorm complex, which originated along the Nebraska/South Dakota border, produced widespread severe wind damage across northern Illinois and Indiana Monday afternoon. Straight line winds of 60-80 mph were common.
Investigations by the NWS on Tuesday confirmed both an EF-0 and a EF-1 tornado touched down outside Rockford Monday night, as well as EF-1 tornadoes in Spring Grove, Marengo, Wheaton, Lombard and Rogers Park.
According to the NWS, several tornadic circulations developed within the main line of thunderstorms in the “derecho” system, producing conditions that led to high winds and caused damage across parts of Chicago’s far North Side, the western suburbs and far northeast Illinois.

The storm came on the heels of a weekend which saw mass looting from groups associated with Black Lives Matter in the downtown area.
I hope this is not true. I do not want o live my last few years in a socialist world.

Finally, all the trash,sh*t and needles vacuumed up, cleanest the City has been in decades!!
Mother Nature -vs- South Chicago hoodrats
I’ll put my money on the hood rats 🐀….
American urban hood rats have destroyed more once great cities and neighborhoods than Mother Nature ever could …..
But when Mother Nature does it, Mother Nature gets blamed
When hood rats destroy cities and neighborhoods, white privilege gets blamed for it!!!!
Pretty unique isn’t it!!!!!!!!!
God gives everyone a chance to choose between good and evil – seems like the politicians and protestors have chosen the evil and when they do that – well this may be just the beginning of what they can expect! The people of Chicago better start electing better officials and find a way to get rid of what is already there.
Sorry, forget to say that I was born in Chicago and worked downtown for many years – it was a great time and no one was afraid to walk anywhere and were cordial to everyone! This is a sad day when someone who used to live and work there is glad they aren’t there anymore!
People get God upset and God get mad and fix their clocks! He no like when people get Him upset. Remember Noah and the flood, and the story of some one who was told not to look back but didn’t listen and was turned into a pillar of salt!! It’s best these miscreants start behaving or they too may drown in flood waters or become pillars of salt! Heed this warning or this can happen to you!!!
How many Gods do you believe there are? I know my one and only GOD is really ticked off !!
Chicago and the blm and antifa have ANGERED the GODS and the GODS are really pissed, and they are coming for you and the GROOT .
Has mayor Lighthead blamed Trump yet?
Not yet… may be the Mayor better change her ways in more than one way
It’s what happens to the neighborhood.
It’s too bad that these shingles coming off the roof weren’t the ANTIFA or BLM Rioters instead. They should all be shot. They are all terrorists Anti-American and Anti-God.
Seriously, I don’t believe this BLM and Antifa crappola would have been allowed to happen in the Chicago I grew up in back in the 40’s and 50’s. Seems like while I have been gone the people of Chicago have lost their brains somewhere and put idiots into office. These politicians should not be allowed to run a Pizza Hut moreover a city like Chicago…or any city for that matter. How disgusting!!!
Ever stop and think that the same ‘forces’ that put obamanation in the White House also put these socialist right wing mayors and governors in office. They were not legally elected at all. They were put there by the socialist forerunners to prepare this country for socialism. Hillary was supposed to ‘win’ so she could finish obamanation’s orders to bring America down, but when she lost to Trump, they were not happy. It has not stopped their quest, merely interrupted it for a moment. They will not lose again in 2020 and the corrupt governments in each stater will continue. They intend to make us all into nice little obedient socialists, it’s all ready to go and come Nov. it will begin…in earnest. Won’t matter who you vote for…the ‘fix’ is written in stone…God help us…..
Too bad it wasn’t last week.
