thunderstorms

If you doubt the power of the wind, you need to see new drone video that reveals what a thunderstorm did to farm fields in Illinois as large swaths were completely flattened.

The warm air could bring us severe weather late tonight.

It's no secret that thunderstorms take on a life of their own in Illinois, but it's not often that we get to see it happen from above. Now you can thanks to video from a plane passenger showing a huge thunderstorm with clouds blowing up over Illinois.

I am not an alarmist and it's not exactly breaking news anyway that Illinois sees a lot of tornadoes every Spring. However, it might bear watching 2024 in particular as past weather patterns might indicate the Land of Lincoln might be in the danger zone for twister development.
