Literally pulled into the garage from the gym last night as the tornado siren went off (it is right next to our house). Funnel in the subdivision

just to our north. Touchdown ended up in the retirement community nearby in Elgin. No injuries reported that I saw. System went on to O'Hare. Quite a few cool videos of it but glad it wasn't worse.

Did you pee yourself a little? I would have. Glad you guys are okay. -- nm - sycor Jul 13, 06:25 5
- Generally even when the sirens go off we don't react in panic because it's kinda a thing here. This was probably the closest we've been but during it - oblique Jul 13, 06:32 4
  - I guess if you are used to it then it wouldn't be that bad. But that's not a thing here. A friend of my ex used to talk about sirens in Alaska. But - sycor Jul 13, 07:05 1
    - when they go off it is supposed to be take shelter. what it usually means is go outside and see what's happening and video the clouds and/or tornado -- nm* - oblique Jul 13, 07:10
