I shall have more to say about the trailblazing, incomparable Nichelle Nichols, who shared the bridge with us as Lt. Uhura of the USS Enterprise, and who passed today at age 89. For today, my heart is heavy, my eyes shining like the stars you now rest among, my dearest friend.

Here's video of a funnel cloud & brief tornado as viewed from Lewis University Airport early Sat A.M. Between 0:09-0:16 in video you can see dirt & debris kicked up on ground just to left of control tower. This is looking SSW and was captured on their construction webcam.

🧵A prolific lightning producing t-storm affected Chicago's western suburbs early this morning. This animation depicts the density of lightning with this storm as detected by satellite. The hotter (orange, red) colors are indicative of nearly continuous lightning occurring.

Check out this striking video from Gibson City yesterday showing damaging winds from a severe storm. What a stark reminder that thunderstorms need not produce a tornado to be dangerous!! #ilwx
