Chicago Faces More Severe Weather | Chicago News

Chicago braces for another brutal round of severe weather today, with wind gusts up to 100 mph, hail, torrential rain, and possible tornadoes threatening the suburbs. A fast-moving line of thunderstorms is expected between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., bringing damaging winds and flash flood risks. Residents are still recovering from yesterday’s storm, which left over 140,000 without power and caused widespread tree damage and flooding. Illinois now holds the second-highest annual tornado count ever, with 222 confirmed so far — just behind Texas. Officials urge everyone to stay alert, have multiple warning sources, and seek shelter immediately if advised. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
