Chicago Under the gun Tonight?


It could get interesting in Chicago in a couple of hours:
There is a small bow echo rapidly moving ESE across northern IL, with a damaging wind threat. If it continues on its current corse and holds together Chicago could see some severe weather in a couple of hours. However, bow echos like this sometimes dive toward the south, so the brunt of the severe may be just south of Chicago. There is another batch of t-storms in central IA that is moving ENE, which may impact eastern IA, NE MO, and central IL over the next few hours. High winds are also the biggest threat there.
So, if I lived in or near Chicago, what would I do? Keep my weather radio ready, and be ready to act if any warnings come in in the middle of the night.
