This image is really all I have to show for my chase yesterday. This is from the Peoria cell; pic was taken near some collection of farm shacks called Cornell on I-27. The storm kinda looked meh on radar when I got to it and it was a very messy affair overall with tons of rain and smaller cells popping up a few miles east. I definitely did not go about things safely; instead of approaching from the SW where I could actually see what was happening, I sat in the rain and let the storm come to me. I thought the storm was going to shit until the rain cleared and the edge of the mesocyclone became very apparent. I bailed due east to avoid getting screwed, got lost in the rain again, and the emerged to find the storm seemingly tightening up directly in front of me. End product was the little chode in the picture. For the briefest of seconds it was an actual tornado with a pair of suction vortices making it to the ground. Broad circulation continued for a bit and that was that. Tried to chase the cell on the way home but once it gets ahead of you, there's simply no catching up.
