These are just north of us. These shots were taken from my backyard. Yes that is DH is the one picture. The sirens went off and lil guy ran for the basement bringing the one dog that would go. DH and I ran outside to see what the fuss was about! This storm produced 4 more tornado touchdowns south of us. One in Magnolia, Streator and Dwight, IL. My inlaws live in Dwight and lil guy's mom also lives in Dwight. Dwight got hit with 2 tornados. Inlaws and lil guys mom are all ok. Amazing because of the 2 tornados one south the other just north of all of them!
It was exciting to see the tornado from our yard then it turned to horror as we heard of the towns and the damage that it caused just a short time later. Our photos were taken at about 8:15pm, the other towns got hit within an hour. We don't think it is from the same supercell that produced the storm we took photos of. Dwight is about 50 miles southeast of us. Lots of supercells were popping up. So far 14 people are missing in Dwight but no accounts of fatalities. Thank god. You can replace things not people. Our prayers are with the affected folks.
