I’m on water tower weather patrol shoots today. Here’s our newest featured town water tower. Welcome to Elliott.

When the TV station wants to run a story about the new @johnsummit tour kicking off at @statefarmcenter but they have to ask you for video from the show you went to at @wastemanagement in Arizona back in February to do the story. Let’s go!!!!

Hey @johnsummit come do the weather with me Oct 1 before your show.

Gorgeous day of weather today.

I have no words. Just a wild graphic to look at. Illinois leads the country in preliminary tornado reports according to the SPC. 119 in Illinois is 1st place, with 2nd place all the way down to 53 in Mississippi. You can also combine Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas and only get 103. Illinois, the new heart of tornado alley? It sure has been the last 3 years. Thoughts?

US 136 between highway 54 and highway 47 is closed McLean/Champaign county line due to dust.

The view of I-74 rest area near Farmer City.

Monticello road between I-57 and Monticello.

You can see the dust looking northwest of Champaign towards Mahomet.

Mahomet had 90mph winds at this location at 150 (Oak St.) and 47 (Lombard St.) according to the NWS damage survey. Other parts of the tornado path were at 100mph winds.

Mahomet tornado was an EF-1 with 100mph winds. On the ground for 15.5 miles and max width of 500 yards. On the ground from 6:55pm-7:09pm.

Lane to Weldon to De Land EF-1 tornado and 105mph winds.

Ok this is the first of many tornado surveys I will be posting. Here is the EF-1 from Mt. Pulaski to Chestnut.

@ACOsman10 Did you take this video, would you give us permission to share?

Cow on the loose at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

Hail at the Springfield, MO airport from today. Hundreds of cars damaged from golf ball to baseball sized hail. Video from Dan Stevens.

I just love this picture from last night in Monticello. The purple color to the sky and the mammatus clouds are amazing! Great shot from Teresa Stevens.
