In other parts of Wisconsin and Illinois.

This is becoming a steady weather pattern.

I remember back in the mid-70s, when I lived between Rockford and Chicago, there were many bad thunderstorms that had tornado warnings. My husband would regale me with tales of bad tornadoes that passed through in years before that. One rather bad day was the day I had to take my MIL's RV to get propane and found myself under a funnel cloud enroute. It was really scary as I knew I was in a big cardboard box on wheels. The folks at the propane place saw the look on my face when I walked in, they offered me a seat and asked if I had been in whatever it was that passed through their place. I had. They were really nice about my state of shock.

Then I moved to Madison, WI and there were a number of bad storms pass through while I lived there including the one that wiped out Barneveld, I lived in Mt Horeb at the time. I remember the Red Cross shelter at the church across the street from me.

I don't miss those days regarding the storms.

The horses 🐎 would feel it first, get wound up and gallop

I live inside town now and it’s kinda a bowl so we didn’t used to get them… then about a month ago one dropped not 5 blocks from me, in the middle of the country club golf course

Freaky!

Brad Arnold isn't scheduled to be live until 4pm cdt, according to his page.
I didn't know Brad was based here in Huntsville, then I found him live on the YouTube home page and rolled my cursor over the picture, and it said he was in Huntsville, later he confirmed that was where he lived on the stream as he drove.
