I sure hope this tornado dies out sooner rather then later because its going to be causing an awful amount of damage I'd guess.

Good lord. This is gonna be very bad! I still don't understand why Chicago NWS has not issued a tornado emergency. Perhaps they are swamped, but they gotta get the strongest wording they can get out right now given the information I'm seeing.

Yep because its now on the doorstep as has been said before of the really populated region, just hoping this doesn't decide to take a NNE jog...right now Chicago heights looks like its in the target path but really from here NE everywhere is fairly heavily populated.

One word to say, regarding this and this year:

Wow :eek:

Saw someone post on the Chicago live feed that they heard a report from their Police Scanner that there was "houses leveled" and that the pd/fire/ema were "requesting further assistance".

Yep and that may well suffer a direct hit if it doesn't rope out totally before then and its going to hit several other suburbs before that as well looking at the track!
I'm fearing this one in terms of damage and possibly deaths.

Well there is a fair chance that unless this a strong tornado it will rope out before it reaches there RL3AO but that is probably scant help to probably around 75,000 people that may be in the path before then...
