Tornado moving east at 70mph. Jesus

Absolutely violent. Wow

I’ve worked in emergency services long enough to know that when you roll up to multiple bystanders saying, “stay with me”, it’s not going to be a good scene.

Major building collapse in Belvidere at the Apollo Theater. 1 DOA, multiple critical, EMS requesting 20 ambulances to the scene.

Shot the gap through the notch in the line. South of me looks to be rocking

Just got tornado warned with 80mph wording

That bowing segment between 80 and 88 looks to pack a punch. Fair amount of 80+ mph bins on velocity.

Confirm TOG near Mount Carroll IL in the line headed towards Chicagoland

From Facebook, near Orion IL

Absolutely massive CC drop.

Round two back over IA/MO looks primed to rock and roll as it continues into IL

Confirmed tornado NE of Jacksonville IL.

Yeah I just rolled the radar back, I think you’re right. Displaced NW of the couplet
