Rainy day … continued
So yesterday it rained, which you saw in this post. I didn’t have the camera pointed out the window during the worst of it, but it did get pretty bad there for a bit.
Turns out that the storm was even worse just a few miles down the road. Trees were ripped out of the ground and some houses and buildings were destroyed by what is called a “gustnado.”
What is a gustnado?
“A possible gustnado caused considerable damage in portions of Lake County Illinois early Wednesday afternoon near the town of Wildwood as a line of severe thunderstorms raced through the area.”
Storms Didn’t Dent Summer Drought
“Chainsaws are buzzing after freak winds blew down tree after tree like dominoes, damaging homes and knocking down power lines in a far north suburb.”
[edit]: Here’s a really short clip of the worst of the storm. It’s really crappy.
