    I was in Chicago for the first time for work and walking down Michigan Ave when the sky went from blue to yellow green in a matter of minutes. And then those sirens!!!! As an east coaster, that was my first ever tornado experience and it was wild! I had to duck into a hotel with huge floor to ceiling windows in the lobby and we were terrified when the sideways rain started coming through

  • @ZachKettell
    @ZachKettell Před 7 lety +28

    The reason you didn't see the tornado is because a warning means that one will most defiantly happen however they don't always happen in a Warning situation! They cannot tell if a tornado is on the ground from a radar but they can see a heavy amount of rotation which is enough to issue a warning! But just because they do not always happen during a warning doesn't make it any less dangerous because a watch means their a possibility and warning means a tornado touchdown could be eminent so always take shelter if a tornado warning is issued

      Although this is one of the earliest, czcams.com/video/G8A7wJrh06c/video.htmlsi=7MagqQ2xRNkwDeGv is actually earlier since it recorded more of the siren, possibly immediately after it started going off.

  • @matteng1997
    @matteng1997 Před 15 lety

    I was at Indiana Beach when this happened. The park closed about 15 minutes before the derecho slammed the area! We had to stop the van once we entered it due to near 100 MPH winds and funnels all around us! The lightning was so bad that we could see every funnel hanging down! There was at least 4 or 5!

  • @williamdenton6427
    @williamdenton6427 Před 2 lety

    It still is aloft , if it developed you would know it. The siren sounding is supposed to be a particullarly dangerous situation siren. It is supposed to be sounded like that to make people aware an actual damage producing tornado is on the ground entering the warned area,usually for radar indicated or weak tornado a straight tone is used.but under special surcumstances a tornado emergency frequency can be deployed to alter the tone to a rapid up and down mode. very few siren systems have this added capability but considering what i am seeing on the videos it is malfunctioning as the conditions are not severe enough to warrent its use or someone is jumping the gun using it.i have only heard it in actual proper usage 2 times and the last was in the south suburbs in June2008.during an actual tornado on the ground in Richton Park.
