It looks and feels like a Spring day today. Keep a sharp eye on the sky it could get nasty. On the bright side leaf raking has been cancelled.

We were pretty lucky. No debris. Just a mild T-storm. If there had not been radar & TV and Computers..........we would not have known how close we were to this severe weather. Oh yeah, we had a very small amount of dime sized hail. I REALLY hate it when I turned on the TV and AGAIN it said there was another tornado heading towards Streator. Two of the three Peoria stations went down. The only one (WEEK-TV), that stayed on ....had a tornado go through its property!

They are showing a video sent to them from Washington of a spotter videoing the tornado that hit Washington that also was heading for Streator. Looks like a half mile wedge tornado caught on camera
