Related: About this forumWell now, that was a bit of a wicked storm. eesh
I am hoping my kitties will come out from under the bed soon.
I'm in DuPage county and these winds that just went through were something else.
Hope all my Illinois neighbors are fine and dandy.

Feels nice to open the windows and let some 70 degree breezes in for a few minutes before

I'm guessing we got about an inch worth- it was really coming down and I am so happy to have it!

We don't have a yard either (condo), but I'm the only deck garden in our whole neighborhood. :-)

the heat and humidity comes back. Here in Chicago the rain isn't too fierce right now.

Have you seen the damage reports? What a mess, but no injuries.
We've got trees/limbs down around the neighborhood, but we had no damage. Did you and your neighborhood come through it ok?

(10,039 posts)9. We're practically in the same neighborhood.
But eh, I don't have a yard, and I haven't walked around much to look at any damage.
