@StrmchsrHunterF Only made it out a few times this year and somehow had something good to come home with, even my first tornadoes, year of the Illinois just doesn’t end 😭
T.O.T.O. (Tornadic Orbital Telemetry Observations) direct intercept of a significant tornado this evening north of Effingham, Illinois. I lost the drone in the tornado. Offering a $500 reward for its return as it has the 8K footage and onboard TPRH sensor. This is valuable scientific data!
There has been a small, yet notable trend towards a faster progression of waves. This should act to shift threat areas for both Tuesday and Wednesday north and east. Wednesday’s threat may now end up closer to where the significant tornadoes occurred just last Thursday.
Our survey team has found EF-3 damage in Kouts, Indiana. They are continuing to survey the area.
We also have teams near Dwight, IL, Streator, IL, and Bartlett, IL. Additional updates will be coming soon. #ILwx#INwx
Quick edit showing some of the intense moments today while documenting 8 tornadoes in northern Illinois into Indiana. Massive shoutout to @skydrama for nailing the forecast in the warm sector. Hands down the craziest tornado outbreak I've ever documented.
Full video will be released in the near future on the @thestormreel YouTube page.
