Illinois Chapter July 2019 BS Thread
Everyone have yourself a fantastic Fourth of July!

Grills everywhere will be fired up and cooking hotdogs for family and friends.

With no further ado lets get July going.

Had a severe thunderstorm move thru the area tonight. had 60MPH wind gusts that ripped small sticks and clumps of leaves out of the trees and scattered them all over the yards.

Tornado warnings were up for awhile but expired.

Howdy Rod!

I already blew on out of here, all that's left is a little rain.

Was a fast moving storm that just tore sticks and leaves from the trees.

That is OK as long as no damage and big limbs.
Was hot, humid and high UV index.

We topped out at 96° and humid as hell today. Atmosphere was juiced up today so we knew something was going to happen tonight.

Didn't turn out as bad as they predicted. Thank God!
