tornadoes

A tornadic storm moves through Kentucky, but it's the rare large hail in January that's the real head scratcher.

It was an unexpectedly stormy day in Illinois today. There were a half dozen reports of tornadoes that touched down in the Land of Lincoln including a couple videos showing the twisters as they were touching down.

We have been fortunate to not have many strong tornadoes do much damage in northeast Missouri the past few years. However, there is quite a history of twisters that have devasted the area including 3 that occurred in the 1940's that went through Hannibal and Palmyra.

It was a stormy weekend in and around the Chicago, Illinois area over the weekend with confirmed tornadoes that touched down. New video shows the damage that has affected several communities.

I'll state the obvious by saying it's the least rare thing ever to see a Midwestern tornado. However, it is quite unusual to see one spinning backwards. That's exactly what happened earlier this month.

It's been 11 years now, but it still seems like yesterday. It was the afternoon of May 22, 2011 when a monster EF5 tornado cut a tragic swath through Joplin, Missouri and there are many that will never forget that day.

It's been a stormy day in the Midwest and for some areas tornadic. New video shows a large dangerous tornado that just roared through Des Moines, Iowa.

Tornadoes are a real possibility Friday night. Most of the tri-state is under a level 3 ENHANCED risk. Union County, Kentucky and points west are under a MODERATE risk.

Western Kentucky and southern Indiana are under a level three ENHANCED risk for severe weather, including the potential for tornadoes, late Friday night.

The tornado that tore through Stanley in rural Daviess County on Saturday left quite a path of destruction behind. Chris Conley and Mean Motion Media has captured the storm's aftermath.
