I just got caught in a hail storm walking home from the train. Took shelter in a parking ramp. Dime size hail. Nothing disastrous, but loud and painful. That was around 5:30pm near the Clybourn Metra station. The cell looked to be headed south towards downtown at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that storm sounds really bad in Chicago, hope everybody is ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greasywheels121 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Wow, that must mean more's coming this way. We already had some ridiculous hail and storms today, during this monsoon of the past week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 QUOTE(SnB @ May 17, 2006 -> 04:25 PM) pretty calm in the south suburbs. Even calmer in Southern California. Just got back from the local pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerhead johnson Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 There was testicle-sized hail over here on the NW side. I even saved a few pieces so that I could show them to my wife. You know, so that she can see what real testicles look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I took some pics of the cloud formations in my area this afternoon....got some great results. There were a few cells in my immediate area, but we didn't get a lot of actual rain from this. Some of the pictures between the high clouds and dark clouds and sunset and such are really good though, I'll post them if I remember to eventually.
