Thank you for posting this. We lived in Elmwood Park at the time and this is exactly how I remember it. We were having supper, we heard some thunder in the distance. then the sirens went off. We couldn't understand why. Then we saw it. It was absolutely terrifying. The intensity unbelievable. The sky went absolutely mad. Killer rain, killer winds, and lightning so full of rage

I lived at University Village at the moment and I remember when I was eating at a McDonald's. Next thing I knew, I was in a taxi cab heading home with a lot of crazy lighting. The road turned into a river when the storm hit Chicago.

What’s with the tornado sirens going off at the beginning?

Because it was a Severe Thunderstorm. It was an Extremely Powerful one though with all of this Dangerous Lightning and the Strong Winds and Rain.

@@iangilldjsuperdude this was a mesoscale convective system which moved through northern illinois and northwest Indianna. It actually started in iowa and moved throughout the rest of the northern great lakes. The system spawned a few tornadoes but it was mostly the damaging winds and lightning that this storm was remembered for. This system produced a record 90,000 lightning bolts across northern illinois in 4 hours. I am not surprised the storm was as intense as it was. CAPE values were off the charts, over 5000 j/kg . Such extreme CAPE values can often lead to extreme lightning events. From my understanding, it is not so common to see such extreme lightning in that part of the US, even though severe storms are frequent in that region
