ILLINOIS: A derecho impacted Iowa and Illinois on Monday evening and with it came severe wind gusts over 80 miles-per-hour, tornadoes, and flash flooding. One of these tornadoes was spawned near the town of Swedonia, Illinois as viewed from I-74 in Northwest Illinois. This trunk shaped tornado morphed into a rope before a new tornado formed directly over the interstate. Several other reported tornadoes occurred over much of Illinois and into Indiana during the evening hours.

I was one that lost power in the storm.

The number is now 40. And in Chicagoland area alone 550,00 people were without power, including me. Thankfully ours went out at 10:00 that night and was restored by 1:30AM that morning. To date 600 people in our south suburbs are still in the dark a week later, Comed spokesman said, “this is the worst damage ever done to Comed systems” they’ve never seen anything like what we saw last Monday night. The fact that it was so widespread was a big problem.

[@SolaKnitez53]

I'm sorry I don't get that slang I see it everywhere can somebody please explain it?

[@ThatMeansHesMad]

​@SolaKnitez-bt8wy It's stupid. Just regurgitated nonsense from people who cannot come up with something original themselves.

[@kattmilk]

@@SolaKnitez53 In essence, the "hold my beer" adage stems from someone or something that thinks they can outdo or out shine the listed subject matter. I'm not sure where it originated.

[@R2D2C_3po]

That's actually a classic appearance to the sky associated with a progressive derecho.
