Seems like large to very large hail is going to verify better in Illinois than it is in Arkansas. That's why I'm still confused that we never got a hail-driven enhanced at the very least. 

Sure is going crazy now though, North-central Indiana and eventually Ohio getting in on some action too!

Wow! tornado watch issued for western Ohio. I already saw lots of rain today, now, a lot more activity south of Fort Wayne, as you said. Some indicators said 2"-3" hail south of Fort Wayne. I think I saw hail briefly today.
