(N.Morgan) Some very crazy weather in Illinois.More storms to come tonight. These storms are moving east, to Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The damage is very extensive and covers a wide area. Please stay vigilant and prepared for bad weather, if you live in the risk areas.
A large tornado touched down outside Peoria, Illinois, on Sunday as an expansive storm threatened parts of the Midwest, U.S. meteorologists said.
“A confirmed large and extremely dangerous tornado” was spotted near Washington, Illinois, located about 145 miles southwest of Chicago, the National Weather Service said, noting that the twister was moving northeast at about 55 miles per hour.
The weather service advised that it would affect mainly rural areas, with mobile homes likely to be destroyed and trees likely to be uprooted or snapped.
It was not immediately clear what, if any, damage resulted from the storm.
The tornado emerged out of a large weather system bringing thunderstorms to parts of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and Kentucky, the weather service said.
I’m in Chicago and the weather did get wild! The wind and rains were ferocious but no funnel clouds that I could see.
