Holy crap holy crap holy crap... I've lived in Hoffman Estates almost 19 years and I've never heard the tornado sirens go off in the township. Oh crap. This is a bit scary...
Update: Well, the rain came - hard. Then nothing. There was a funnel cloud sighted 7 miles southwest of Bartlett moving northeast. I'm sure that's what triggered the sirens here. Then, during the calm, we heard sirens again, but it was the Hoffman Estates siren (which is under 1000' feet from my house). It must have been other surrounding suburbs. Well, we made it through that one.
