Wmsptwx Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Luckily looks like whatever is on the ground will miss Galesburg to the south, hopefully Monmouth fared ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClicheVortex2014 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 That supercell looks like it's done... too much rain around the rotation... cutting off inflow. Strong rotation NE of Roseville, IL EDIT: Was for a scan... It's still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClicheVortex2014 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 A couple of Tweets, FWIW Radio reports of Cameron, IL completely destroyed. We were just filming in that town 10 min ago and people were standing outside. Radio reports of numerous injuries in Cameron, IL. #ilwx @NWSQuadCities @kwqcnews @wqad @Local4And Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim from Springfield (IL) Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Good thing no one's life depends on my posts. Watch out Knoxville And this week is the Knox County Fair in Knoxville--and if the storms hold together another county fair, the larger Heart of Illinois Fair in Peoria, could be at risk.

jojo762 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1441 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0758 PM CDT THU JUL 16 2015 AREAS AFFECTED...NERN MO INTO PORTIONS OF NRN AND CNTRL IL AND NWRN IND CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 429... VALID 170058Z - 170230Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 429 CONTINUES. SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR TORNADOES IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR ANOTHER HOUR OR SO OVER PORTIONS OF W-CNTRL IL. A GRADUAL UPSCALE GROWTH OF STORMS SHOULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO PRIMARILY A DAMAGING WIND AND HAIL THREAT SPREAD EWD/SEWD THROUGH PORTIONS OF CNTRL IL. DISCUSSION...VOLUMETRIC RADAR DATA AND SPOTTER REPORTS INDICATE A TORNADIC SUPERCELL AFFECTING WARREN INTO KNOX COUNTIES IL...IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF A N-S-ORIENTED BAND OF TSTMS ORGANIZING OVER W-CNTRL IL. MESOANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT THIS ACTIVITY IS SITUATED NEAR OR JUST TO THE NORTH OF A WARM FRONT THAT EXTENDS FROM CNTRL IA INTO S-CNTRL IL. THE 00Z ILX SOUNDING APPEARS TO BE A REASONABLE PROXY FOR THE LOCAL INFLOW ENVIRONMENT TO THESE STORMS WITH MLCAPE OF 1000-1500 J/KG JUXTAPOSED WITH A VERTICALLY VEERING WIND PROFILE WITH 200-250 M2/2 EFFECTIVE SRH. CURRENT THINKING IS THE RISK FOR AN ADDITIONAL TORNADO OR TWO WILL PERSIST FOR THE NEXT HOUR OR SO ALONG THE I-74 CORRIDOR WEST OF PEORIA. HOWEVER...WITH TIME...DESTRUCTIVE STORM INTERFERENCE COUPLED WITH A GRADUALLY STABILIZING BOUNDARY LAYER SHOULD RESULT IN A DIMINISHING TORNADO THREAT. LOCALLY DAMAGING OUTFLOW WINDS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE AS THE COMPLEX OF TSTMS CONTINUES EWD INTO CNTRL IL. OVER NERN MO...CONVECTIVE TRENDS INDICATE DECREASING STORM COVERAGE AND INTENSITY. SHOULD THIS CONTINUE...THE PORTION OF THE WATCH WEST OF THE MS RIVER CAN BE CANCELLED EARLY. ..MEAD.. 07/17/2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClicheVortex2014 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 All tornado warnings have been dropped. Picture from Kholby Martin on Facebook, shared by Reed Timmer. This was when it was near Monmouth, Reed says Apparently 3 paramedic units have been requested for Cameron, per the scanner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hadn't really looked at today's setup, so didn't even plan to head out. Just went outside of town on the tor warned storm. Was like driving in a maze with 8ft corn on both sides of the road. Extremely frustrating. Seemed like it was hard to find a bean field. Storm had some decent structure, but never saw much other than the typical supercell crap. Seen this about 25 times this year, and still no tornado. Bout to sell all my chasing ****. Here's a look as it came over the western horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianGuy Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hoping the best for Cameron, luckily it missed Galesburg and Monmouth to the south.Social media is unusually quiet regarding this. If a major tornado did hit Cameron, you would think there would be photos of the damage and more tweets from storm chasers/residents of the town. According to an eyewitness in town, @donkeydownburst, the damage from the tornado was "relatively minor" and consisted of downed trees and power lines, a gas leak, and minor roof/power line damage.Sent from my GT-N8010 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wmsptwx Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Hopefully that's good news, it has been along time for that to be quiet. That would be welcome to have moderate damage. Edit: Thanks for pics, "looks" like ef 2 damage possible, but early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClicheVortex2014 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Something that might be contributing to the 'quietness' on social media is because maybe not many people were chasing today. Just speculation though... there were obviously some out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd give it some time. Even in the age of social media, it still takes a while to see the full scope of damage. Hopefully it's not too bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that it is now dark there and if there were search and rescue/emergency going on there, you wouldn't have the typical gawkers checking out the damage. This is definitely my third favorite tornado video now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zn4a7JMlmP0&feature=youtu.be That is a very impressive video, pretty crazy evolution expecially with the individual funnels moving right to left at one point.

That is a very impressive video, pretty crazy evolution expecially with the individual funnels moving right to left at one point. Yup, that's my favorite part. Then how fast the large tornado formed immediately after that. It's stunning. Videos like this would've been great for Dr. Fujita back when he was researching the concept of multiple vortices... the way he did it was more badass though.
