Grayslake F1 tornado [View all]

Feeling so blessed. We lost our hickory and sunflowers, and have a 20ish foot oak limb wedged tight in a maple out front. We have power since 10:38 last night... yay! Chainsaws and chippers minus the generators is a nice break. We're still waiting for our tree guy... hopefully no big gusts to finish the hickory that would take out our shed. Lots of debris hitting the house and fierce wind. It was pretty scary.

This drone footage is NE about a block from us-



Hope all DU members came out okay.
