Chicago braced for chaos as brutal storms slammed the city Monday, unleashing tornado warnings, flash floods, and widespread power outages. Radar showed dangerous rotation, including rain-wrapped tornadoes that are nearly invisible — making them especially deadly. A severe thunderstorm watch stayed in effect until 7 PM, with flash flood warnings active in Cook County. More storms were on the way, bringing hail, high winds, and the threat of more tornadoes until sunset. Damage was immediate: downed trees, blocked roads, flooded sidewalks, and CTA delays. Airports grounded flights at O’Hare and Midway, while over 273,000 ComEd customers and 25,000 Nipsco customers lost power. Compounding the misery, extreme heat warnings were in place with heat indexes soaring to 105-110 degrees — but relief was on the way as a cold front moved in overnight, promising cooler, drier weather for the rest of the week.
