Sister in law lives there and just called her sister here. Sounds bad. Anybody close there that has the scoop? Looks like a huge storm.

On a brighter note, it's supposed to hit Chicago with 100 MPH winds.

Looks like it'll hit Milwaukee instead of Chicago.

My mother lives just south of Milwaukee and has been texting me all afternoon.

Hopefully it loses strength soon. Looks like its cruising along stateline.

looks like the worst of it stayed in ILL and didn't cross the border.

I am in Green but you might have figured that.

Well we got blasted! Just got done assessing damages at the farm. Trampoline stayed in place. Our electric pole blew over. My chicken tractor that had 30, 4 week old meat birds blew 15 ft and killed all but 3 chicks. All my eggers in the coop are fine. Lambs and pigs are good too. The rest of my sweet corn is played flat on the ground along with all my tomatoes.

Sad to hear. Mom Nature can be a witch.
That storm was in Lincoln NE this morning with 70 mph winds. It's hung in there.
