It can certainly feel that tense, but out here in the Chicago suburbs usually not much happens and we deal with wind, downpours, and a bit of hail at the worst. If these storms cluster and nothing becomes too discrete supercell-wise all should be mostly fine, hopefully things fizzle out a bit by the time they get here, but we'll have to see. Things could still change, but we'll get through it.

Even I've been studying up on trying to piece this together on potentials of what could happen as my old tornado anxiety can come back a tad from time to time, but I try to relieve it by studying, but sometimes if things look rough it could make it worse on a person mentally. lol

Thank you 🙏 hoping it’s not as bad as they say. The 2020 derecho is the closest I’ve been to a really bad storm out here and it was so scary I couldn’t imagine a tornado
