    Alot of people in the central plains states that ignored weather forecasters just got a rude awakening.

    You don’t know the half of it..
    Back in June 20,2021 Naperville,Woodridge and Burr Ridge were struck by an EF-3 nighttime (11:00 pm) wedge tornado! Amazingly no one was killed all things considered. The supercell that dropped that tornado bypassed Batavia and marched its way east. Once you head east from Kane County into DuPage County and inevitably into Cook County it’s town,after town after town!!

    Prior to that the last major tornado hit the Chicagoland area was the F5 tornado that took out 1/3 of Plainfield back in August of 1990. And that storm didn’t follow any of the normal rules!

    He is a weather expert @mjd4277 he seems to know everything there is to know about weather
    I remember the one in Aug of 1990 that hit Plainfield & Naperville I happen to be back where I grew up for a friend’s wedding miles & miles of damage and as you said basically solid housing

    Just another reason why I liked being based in Utah, never had to worry about driving in high winds.

    Even Utah might get a tornado now and then. In fact Salt Lake City was hit years ago.

    As I wrote that post I remembered there is a stretch just north of Salt lake City known for high winds at a certain time of the year known to have blown over trains apparently, not sure what exactly is the cause of it though, it was not a tornado, never looked into what the cause was, but one day we were on the airport shuttle mini bus traveling from Logan to SLC the State troopers had stopped all the heavy vehicles from moving so there where trucks parked up all along the I -15 but they were still allowing small vehicles to move. I mean they occasionally very occasionally can even get a tornado in California too, but nothing like Tornado ally that's for certain. Also Wyoming is known along the I - 80 to get high winds to, but again it has nothing to do with tornados.

    Every state in the United States has had at least one tornado. Including Alaska and Hawaii.
    Some just get them a lot more than others!
    Location,location,location!!;)
