We got hit pretty hard last night by the storm that ripped through Southern Illinois. It has not been confirmed yet but we believe it was a tornado. It sounded like a freight train comin!

Here are some pics that I snapped. I also have a couple of videos that I will upload to youtube and put the links in here.

The garage is our neighbors. We found insulation about 1/2 mile away and tin from the roof about 500yrds down in a ditch.

Luckily no one was hurt!

thanks i remember that storm from a few years ago they had 100+ winds that did unreal damage to the area
glad no one was hurt
 
glad yall are ok! we had some pretty rough weather last night too... 3 tornadoes in the area. spent most of the night in my neighbors basement wishing i had some food! lol
 
This weather sucks! Glad to hear everyone is okay. We dodged the bullet (tornado) here in my area, but did get straight-line winds around 65-70 mph, and torrential rains. Got up this morning and scoped-out the roof finding I'd lost some shingles again. Thunderstorms forecast for the next few days here.
 
Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers guys. We got all of the tin from the neighbors roof picked up. We got all the insulation we could get picked up.

I got a video of us flipping the pontoon boat back over but I can't get it to load on youtube. The other video is just a walk around of the damage done. The National Weather Service was supposed to come out to take a look and determine if it was a tornado or not, but they got caught up else where so they told us to shoot some video and they would get the footage from us and determine it from the video.

There is insulation on the power lines, up in the tops of trees...its just freaking everywhere!

Luckily my boat was inside the garage :D
 
That is some crazy footage. Glad everyone is ok. It has been a rough few years for weather thats for sure!
 
That really sucks. Glad nobody was hurt.

It is amazing how the storm stacked all that tin neatly on the trailer though. :shock:
Sorry...can't help myself sometimes. #-o
 
HaHa! I wish it would have already been stacked neatly on the trailer...It was a PITA trying to get it to all stay on there while loading more on top of it.

Redbug,
I'm about 6 miles from Marion and things weren't nearly that bad here. 50mph wind for 10 minutes and a little small hail.
