Read for More Information:
A possible tornado tracked through the town from the northwest heading through the Bel-Air subdivision into mine. It was reported to have crossed Interstate 57 and possibly hit a trailer home part near the intersection of Illinois 50 and Armour Road. Will have to look tomorrow morning. I will make a follow-up video.
===== backstory =====
Last night I was following the weather. I realized the storms that produced the Coal City tornado (at the time it was just coming up to Coal City) were coming towards my direction. Once it got more hectic looking, I got my GoPro suction mounted to my bedroom window to record the lightning. I ended up catching a tornado warning and a funnel cloud/tornado coming up to the house and taking out some of our trees, roof shingles, and siding with it. Freaked us out big time, could not tell what degree of damage or size the funnel/tornado it was. We only knew this storm had leveled houses in Coal City. Very glad it was very light and that we still have a house. Many in Coal City tonight are not as fortunate, but it was enough for us as well. Will be spending the next day, like many, cleaning up half a tree and much more.
