Twisters

There's video that shows a tornado that destroyed at least 8 homes in Macon County, Illinois Sunday.

One of the most famous tornado videos in history comes from an elderly Illinois man and his video is known for all the wrong reasons. It's a textbook example of why you don't endanger yourself when a tornado approaches. He nearly videoed his own death as he and his home took a direct hit from the twister which did end up being tragic.

We unfortunately have likely witnessed multiple tornado tragedies in Iowa today. Horrifying video shows a monster twister destroy windmills and carve a path directly through a small town.

It's really not unusual for Illinois to have a lot of tornadoes, but it's not typical for the Land of Lincoln to have more than any other state, but that's exactly what has happened in 2023.

At any time in Illinois, you might see any number of things cruising down your street. Vehicles obviously, the occasional dog walker, exercise freaks...oh and tornadoes. That's what one family saw zooming down their street recently.

Most residents in west-central Illinois likely had no idea there was a dangerous storm moving through the area overnight early Saturday morning. But, weather survey teams have confirmed there was a 200 yard wide tornado that struck near Marceline, Illinois.

This is one record you never want to hold. A Missouri man was carried over 1,300 feet by a violent tornado, yet lived to tell about it.

Normally, being #1 at something is a good thing. That's not true in this case. Surprisingly, Illinois has become the tornado capital of America and the numbers so far in 2023 prove that point.

What's your worst nightmare when flying (other than crashing)? I've boarded many a plane in my life and the one scenario I've always dreaded is potentially flying through a tornado. There's a video that appears to show that nightmare in action as a plane flies through a twister in St. Louis.

After a relatively slow start to the spring storm season, multiple tornadoes were reported across many parts of Iowa Sunday afternoon and evening. Here's video of a twister that struck Pella, Iowa including some of the damage it caused.
