@MatthewCappucci While chasing remains just a hobby for me, I find that it helps mentally to treat it like professional poker.

Variance exists, upswings and downswings will occur, just keep making positive expected value decisions and the results will come

@Brady_Wx I might be a little biased on this one

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

@DiegoMendozaD_ Sure thing, I affirm all the above, just tag my twitter!

My footage of the Washburn, IL tornado earlier today. Stunning multivortex wedge #ilwx

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

@Jflip1 sure

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

One last clip of the Washburn tornado as it lofted dirt and debris outside of town. This storm was one to remember #ilwx

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

@NickKrasz_Wx This was what the tornado looked like as it was approaching this location. Terrifying stuff, extremely fortunate it was primarily west of town.

More footage of the Washburn, IL tornado as it morphed into a stout stovepipe #ilwx

[Nick Krasznavolgyi @NickKrasz_Wx]

The Washburn, Illinois tornado became more narrow and intensified at the end of its life. It completely scoured parts of fields, caused severe tree damage, and completely destroyed a solar panel array. Very intense tornado. This was along IL-89.

@GumryWX I couldn't believe my eyes while it was happening

Has anyone told the violent tornadoes that the low level lapse rates are too low?

LARGE AND POWERFUL TORNADO WEST OF REDDICK, IL @NWSChicago #ilwx

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

Tornado likely OTG south of Dwight, IL @NWSChicago #ilwx

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

Couldn’t see the ground on the right storm, but handoff near Streator possibly had two tornadoes otg simultaneously #ilwx

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

Delayed due to poor data; tornado over Streator, has since roped out. Lost view of parent storm, may still produce @NWSChicago #ilwx

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

LARGE TORNADO SOUTHWEST OF STREATOR #ilwx @NWSLincolnIL

[Daniel Wefer @WeferWX]

It missed downtown washburn thank god. Extremely violent tornado, has since lifted #ilwx
