Sean, summer is in full effect here today. Temps are going to be in the upper 80's but the heat index is pushing it to the mid 90's. The normal average for this time of the year is 80* and we are going to be in the mid to upper 80's everyday until at least next Wednesday when the forecast is saying 79*

Good Saturday # 1 evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, Rod, Neil, and Sean!

We didn't get the severe thunderstorm last night that was forecast but got one this afternoon no tornadoes in our area but we got damaging high winds, twigs and small branches are down everywhere.

A good sized branch blew out of my neighbors cherry tree but didn't land in my yard. I imagine Neil is going to be dealing with the storm tonight.

We were 94° before the storm but when everything settled down it was 69°.

97° is too hot to even look out the window.

It was 94° here with high humidity before the storm and I thought that was bad.
