The wall cloud is a good 1/2 mile wide. This fucker is big and has been on the ground for quite some time.

A tornado touched down near them but luckily moved in the opposite direction. Sounds like a small town outside Rochelle just got totally destroyed though

appleaday - I hope everybody is ok!

RoxMonster - I'm so glad it moved out of their direction.

This is a nightmare for all these small towns out there. We're hearing on WGN about people trapped in buildings.

My H is still driving home. He's in IN right now. UGH.

And stay safe everyone else who's in this area. Tornadoes scare me so much. It's the one thing I loathe about summer/spring.

Yeah, I'm in the NW burbs, Arlington Heights, and there's nothing here yet. This morning it was awful but it's calm now. Maybe too calm?

I switched to WGN from ABC and they're showing pictures of Rochelle and buildings are flattened

Ugh. My parents are in McHenry - I hope it doesn't make it that far north. I don't like hearing that things are that close.

My dad works for ComEd, and I can almost guarantee he will be out working crazy shifts all week since this is so close to home. I can't freaking wait until he retires at the end of the year. Storm season always makes me worried for his health/safety.

The Rochelle tornado traveled diagonally and passed about 30 miles to our west and went north of us.

My brother is technical rescue certified (he's a full time firefighter and EMT) and I think my mom said his unit was being paged out to those trapped

WGN said they've called in 20+ departments. I cannot imagine. I hope your brother is safe - what a tough job.
