BOLD MOVE! People Swimming On Chicago High Rise During Tornado

Residents of a Chicago high-rise risk everything by swimming during a tornado just a few days ago.

I might make some dumb decisions in life, but nothing as crazy as this.

Over the past few days, we've have horrible storms, flooding, and tornadoes touch down in Illinois.  Instead of taking cover during the storms, a few Chicago residents decided to swim on their rooftop in the middle of the storm.

I'll be honest, I am the type to sit outside during a heavy thunderstorm and watch the rain and lightning strike.  I can sleep through all of it without waking up, too.  To swim when there's lightning, though?  Absolutely not.

Take a look at these people swimming on a rooftop during the tornado in Chicago!

I was in the shower when the tornado sirens started going off.  My cats were terrified because they didn't know what was happening.  I grabbed them, ran to our basement, and sat for 30 minutes until the storm blew over!
