"That thing's pretty close!" »



You've shared many incredible iReports of severe weather in the last few days. Among them is this extraordinary video of a tornado forming in Monee, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, posted by weather buff rpot.

The reactions of rpot and members of his family go from awe to fear as the huge twister appears to be getting closer. Tell us, how would you react in this situation?

And a quick reminder, if you're sending severe weather iReports: please, be careful out there!

To the Midwest:
It's been a longwhile and may I give some future information related to what is happening now in the WHOLE MIDWEST SECTION of The U.S - to please adhere to this calling. Nature has provided us great signs that the section of MIDWEST will be swallowed by earth and water will run through it all the way. Floodings will never stop and will continue to do its bidding till the whole section is covered by water.Additionally, there will be an earthquake to compesate the operation of Nature. Please let it be known to the people of MIDWEST to start preparing leaving MIDWEST when there is still time....U.S continent is going to be break into 2 parts starting from MIDWEST area.

Best of Hope.

Previously, when the tornado sirens would blow, I would grab my camera and head straight out the door to watch the severe weather roll in.

My reaction has changed since seeing the devastation of the EF5 tornado that hit Northeast Iowa. Now, I would grab my pets, head to the basement, set them down, head back upstairs, grab my camera and head out the door to watch the severe weather roll in.
