% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
Residents of Coal City IL are pickiing up th pieces after a tornado rampaged through their town last night. The tornado reportedly tried to suck a woman out of her crawlspace, damaged several homes and knocked down trees. Coal City tells residents: insurance adjusters must be able to see all damage, so please don’t get too anxious to clear downed trees and debris. Clear streets, but leave private property until adjusters have come through.
ATTENTION BROADCAST OUTLETS: You have my permission to use this video ON-AIR and ONLINE, but please credit "Kimock7 on Youtube." Thank you. 6/22/15. I fell behind while following a storm chaser and this is what happened. Not a smart move, but this random guy in a truck told me the way out. Hazards of chasing. Be careful out there. This is the tornado that passed through Sterling, Sublette, Mendota, Morris, Ottawa, Diamond, Coal City, Braidwood is a city in Will County, Illinois, Carbon HIll and Kankakee, Illlinois and more cities.

IIlinois and parts of the Midwest aren’t out of the woods yet. Accordirig to the National Weather Service:
..SUMMARY... SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH DAMAGING WIND GUSTS...LARGE HAIL AND POSSIBLY A COUPLE OF TORNADOES ARE EXPECTED FROM PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND INTO THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND OHIO VALLEY. FARTHER WEST...A FEW SEVERE STORMS WITH LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE IN THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH THE EVENING. HAIL WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH STORMS ACROSS THE MID/LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY AREA. ...THE NORTHEAST/MID-ATLANTIC/OHIO VALLEY AREA... COMPLEX CONVECTIVE SCENARIO IS EVIDENT ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON...AS EARLY CONVECTION HAS ALTERED THE PRE-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT ACROSS NY AND INTO VT/NY/ME. ATTM...IT APPEARS THAT THE ZONE OF GREATEST SEVERE RISK -- COINCIDENT WITH THE ENHANCED RISK AREA -- EXTENDS FROM WV/SRN PA EWD/NEWD INTO PARTS OF SRN NEW ENGLAND...ALONG THE SRN PERIPHERY OF EARLIER/ONGOING STORMS WHERE A VERY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER CONTINUES TO HEAT/DESTABILIZE FAIRLY AGGRESSIVELY. EXPECT STORMS TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE/INTENSITY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON -- AIDED BY RELATIVELY STRONG WLY FLOW THROUGH A DEEP LAYER. GIVEN THE QUASI-UNIDIRECTIONAL NATURE OF THE FLOW FIELD...CLUSTERS OF FAST-MOVING STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL WILL LIKELY PREVAIL...THOUGH WELL-ORGANIZED/ISOLATED STORMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE GIVEN FLOW FIELD SUPPORTIVE OF UPDRAFT ROTATION. RISK WILL GRADUALLY DIMINISH FROM W-E AS THE COLD FRONT ENTERING THE NORTHEAST ATTM MOVES STEADILY TOWARD THE COAST. ...NORTHERN AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ISOLATED STORM DEVELOPMENT MAY OCCUR OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN THIS AFTERNOON...AS A MODESTLY MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER DESTABILIZES GRADUALLY IN CONJUNCTION WITH DAYTIME HEATING. WHILE COVERAGE WILL LIKELY REMAIN SOMEWHAT SPARSE THROUGH LATE AFTERNOON...MODERATE MID-LEVEL WLYS ATOP SELY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW WILL RESULT IN SHEAR SUFFICIENT FOR ORGANIZED/ROTATING UPDRAFTS -- AND ATTENDANT HAIL/WIND RISK. POSSIBLE UPSCALE GROWTH INTO A SMALL MCS MAY OCCUR TONIGHT INVOF NERN WY/SERN MT/WRN SD AS A SELY LOW-LEVEL JET DEVELOPS -- WHERE RISK FOR HAIL AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS WOULD BE POSSIBLE. ...NERN KS/SERN NEB EWD INTO SWRN IA/NRN MO... SCATTERED ELEVATED STRONG/LOCALLY SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE ACROSS SRN NEB/NERN KS ATTM...AND SHOULD CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS -- ALONG WITH ONGOING RISK FOR HAIL. WHILE SOME DECREASE IN CONVECTIVE COVERAGE/INTENSITY MAY OCCUR THIS AFTERNOON...ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT MAY OCCUR THIS EVENING...ALONG WITH RISK FOR LARGE HAIL.
