Severe Thunderstorm and

Tornado Warning

Please Go Inside

Dear Neighbors,


The sirens you have been hearing are severe. thunderstorm and tornado warnings issued for the next several hours for Chicago.  At 6:30 p.m., a severe thunderstorm capable of producing a tornado was located over Itasca, or over Elk Grove Village, moving east at 30 mph.


The storm has wind gusts up to 70 MPH and two-inch sized hail.


Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur. Tree damage is likely.


This weather system is in the path for Chicago.  


Those who have lived in this area for a long time will know that we do not have emergency sirens activated very often. 


Please go home immediately and seek shelter.   The Wrightwood Neighbors meeting scheduled for tonight will be rescheduled.


Let's all be safe,
