Some areas NW of Chicago got 5" of rain.
17 tornados confirmed but only a couple touched down.
Affected a huge area, from the Wisconsin state line to south of us (we're 60 or so miles south of Chicago), from I-39 to NW Indiana.
Fortunately, the most damaging stuff hit in rural areas so the damage was minimized.
We didn't lose power but parts of McHenry, Boone, Bureau, McHenry, Lake, DuPage, LaSalle, & Will did.
I read everything was back on by around 9 this morning.
Crossing fingers on your power. We once went 6 days running a generator. I pricey way to keep the lights on!
