The Weather Channel (OOOH! my first TV report!) just showed one photo of Oak Lawns 1967 tornado (F-4, EF5), it effected some nearby towns as well. 33 killed and 1,000 injured.
They premise the one hitting downtown Chicago on a Plainfield Ill. tornado (F-5) in 1990, still a bit away from Lake Michigan.
Anyway. If you missed the TV speculation, they often replay things the same day I believe.
I am just curious if anyone has seen an EF-3+ tornado two miles from a Great Lake or an ocean. That would be interesting info.
But it is good to err on the side of safety, during any weather watch or warning.
Here is my story of that day.
