This is the second viewpoint of the Kankakee Tornado from Sun River Terrace on HWY 17 to the east. Had a second strong-motion satellite tornado with an El Reno-like Meso. This was just purely evil looking at this point, looking from NW of the meso SEward
I'm gonna go ahead and release this here, as there seems to be some discourse since it was not well documented, as @Tornado_Warned and I were the only chasers with a view of the Kankakee, IL Tornado as it morphed from a stout stovepipe to a large wedge. We were northbound on a road, looking south of the tornado, while most high-profile chasers were to the SW of the tornado at the time.
This tornado turned into a rapidly widening tornado and was cloaked by RFD, moving directly into Aroma Park. This tornado spooked me to a degree as I was anticipating it to be moving more NE vs due East. Otherwise, this would have been a very close-range intercept.
After this, the tornado became wrapped from our view before blasting east. I'll release a video of the Satellite with an evil El Reno-like Meso here later.
@IsaacKrauss_Wx I compiled that in around 2020-2021 using msys, the version of netCDF i used to get it to compile on windows properly wasnt made with large file support (file sizes greater than 2GB), alongside with not having HDF5 compression. Your best bet is compiling CM1 with WSL now.
