Thank you, NBC, for noting this is in fact an American city. Too many people here pretend it isn't.

Or, maybe that’s it up there and I can’t read that this is only through 2025 (and therefore doesn’t include the one from this year in a very similar location).

Think this is light. There was one on 6/5/10 (I wanted to drive into the river) for Peoria County that doesn’t look like it’s included, so I’m guessing there are others.

I literally can hear *almost nothing* during these interviews. The players are about 10% of the volume of Joe and John for me.

Can you hear anything he’s saying (or anything any on-field interviewee has said other than Roberts/Schneider) lol

I’m okay with it. It’s not my favorite, but it’s fine, & you typically know what you’re going to get. If you get a pan pizza cooked properly, it can be pretty good. For a while, it was a reliable staple in small towns on the Plains. Good for a not-awful-for-you meal after storm chasing (ethically).

In the 87th minute, I said, in a group text, “the buses shall be parked.” The buses were most certainly not parked!

Another tornadic day in Illinois with at least 3 & perhaps as many as 5 tornadoes, including the significant tornadoes that struck Charleston and Effingham, the latter we viewed at close range just to our S. Unfortunately among first on scene of significant damage for the 2nd time in a week. #ilwx

A sample of tornadic scenes in #mowx and #ilwx Wed./Thu. At least 13 tornadoes for me between the 2 days across MO/IL/IN. Heard words like “miserable” & “wretched” often to describe this season from a storm chasing perspective. At 29 tors & counting, my experience couldn’t be further from it.

Strong, long-lived tornado west of Unionville, #mowx at 2113z. This tornado roped out and dissipated west of Unionville before producing another, separate tornado north of town after this.

A reminder that despite how dumb this storm setup is and how dumb everything is in the world, you’re guaranteed to have a #nice day today.

He’s been a liability way more than an asset in this trip up. Even going to third there was a big mistake. Got fortunate.

That’s some low-ass behavior. I propose a “VANDALISM IS BAD” shirt fundraiser to pay for the damage.

Several tornadoes today along the Illinois/Wisconsin border, including these at Lena and Harrison/Rockton, Illinois. Video screenshots by the incomparable navigator, @skydrama.bsky.social
