Inclement Weather in the Southwest Chicago Suburbs

orland park weather and cloudy skies
There was tornado damage in a farther south Chicago suburb of Peotone last night. Several homes were damaged and there were also some injuries. Peotone is considered a more rural area and I had relatives that had a farm there, but it's a little too far out of my selling area.

I slept very well in my Orland Park home last night and was surprised to speak to a client who told me he didn't get any sleep last night because of the storm. I remember having trouble sleeping in my prior Oak Lawn home that I just closed on last week.

It was originally a ranch style home that had a 2nd story addition put on, turning it
into more of a cape cod or 1 1/2 story home. For some reason, I could always hear the wind and rain more in my Oak Lawn home than I can in my current split level home. Maybe it's because my 2nd story was so much higher than in my current home.

I don't know the reason, but I'm glad to have "weathered" my first bad storm in my new Orland Park home. I hope the new owners of my Oak Lawn home slept well last night.
