*Disclaimer #1: Looking back on the whole event I really should’ve just taken shelter. Please if you are ever in the same situation TAKE SHELTER and do NOT do what I did! I am a officially trained weather spotter, but even that does not excuse my actions that day. Be safety smart y’all!

*Disclaimer #2: I was NOT going as fast as the video makes it look/sound. My car is a slow 4 cylinder with a CVT transmission and it always sounds like it's going way faster than it is. Really at most I was going 40-45 MPH so DO NOT give me crap about it.

Today I had decided to go to see a noon blast siren near Chicago, and I ended up being late and missed it going off (SirenDude1003 got it going off go check out his video). While I was on my way home I got a notification of a tornado warning for McHenry County. So I quickly zoomed into a Walgreen parking lot and began filming. The video shows as follows (it has been heavily edited due to strong language and personal conversation). The sirens activate at 4:46 and Whelens plus a nearby 3T22 can be heard. Prior to that, a 2001 can be heard from I believe McHenry doing attack. Thanks for watching and I hope you all enjoy the video!
