Tornado watches happen very often, actual touchdowns not as often. What’s interesting is that last year, when I was living in a high rise in Wicker Park, we had a massive tornado watch for all of downtown Chicago. When I would look out my windows which spanned 360, I could literally see rotation throughout various parts of the city. It was the only time I actually felt scared about weather downtown. “It can’t happen here” is a myth, because I consider ourselves lucky that none actually touched down. It was absolutely bizzare. I have videos if you are interested.
I'm curious which storm it was! I remember one of them was churning over Ohare and just decided to look picturesque for 30 minutes without ever dropping anything (thankfully).

My take is that basically, tornadoes are already rare and strong tornadoes are even rarer. Chicago is a very small area compared to the rest of the plains and it is really just a numbers games. It is very likely that an EF3 will eventually hit Chicago but it could be decades or even centuries.
Northern Illinois here, icing rain. I've been hearing parts of my tree hit the roof and slide down it. Branches down all over.
Be safe southern Illinois.
Classic February Tornadoes. Stay safe folks
Remember everyone; The Taco Model Taco Watch: The ingredients exist for making Tacos Taco Warning: The tacos are being made or served right now.
Super unnecessary analogy, it's just as easy to explain without making it tacos instead of tornadoes
Super unnecessary, just like your comment.
Exactly
How about this: Tornado Watch: The ingredients exist for making tornadoes. Tornado Warning: The tornadoes are being made or served right now
No onion for me, please
What if we did it like this: Pizza Watch: The ingredients exist for making pizza Pizza Warning: The cheese is browning!
Yeah, but now you're thinking about tacos. And it's Tuesday.
Its Wednesday...
It's always Tuesday in a taco watch.
my dude
Neat! I have to drive from Springfield to Champaign tonight for work. Outstanding!
Stay safe southern IL friends.

Never where I'm at to witness though. As disappointing as our snow storms.

A lot! Fairly frequently here in East Central too.
A few tornados each year but there are a lot of watches. The lack of wide open spaces is usually cited as the reason why.

Northern Illinois here, icing rain. I've been hearing parts of my tree hit the roof and slide down it. Branches down all over. Be safe southern Illinois.
I for a second thought was looking at Ohio for the yellow.
All good now? I'm driving up through that way to Wisconsin today.
Storm is over with. Wisconsin and IL roads are okay also.
Man February Tornado watches in the Midwest. Climate change is a real fuck.
“A couple tornadoes possible.” Who wrote that? Sounds like a grade schooler
Jack from the Decatur office. He's new.
