The Chicagoland area had some severe weather blow through tonight. I was on my way back from fixing a computer and turned on my weather radio and had my HT (Handie Talkie) on as well, listening to the spotters from Kane County submit reports. I heard a bunch of reports of high winds in Sugar Grove (60+ MPH) and that it was heading towards my house.

I finally hit the storm and it’s mostly heavy rain and a little wind. I think nothing of it.

So I get home and look in my tree and wow…

That thing was a pain in the ass to take down. It took 3 people (1 of them drunk) to get it down. I finally had to take control and direct people since my shoulder is messed up.
