The Plainfield tornado, 20 years later - Trib Nation

----

Do you remember where you were?

----

I was still up in Union IL. Like 4 years old.

Which is 70 miles approx to the North.

We had some scattered storms mostly sunny I do remember.

My mom had called my grandma.. Who we live next door to now here in Morris..

She said the storm was "like Hell" passing slightly North of Morris.

I was....-1 years old. However, I heard the story of it in science, my sophmore year in high school.

This is from an article 5 years ago.. It shows the path.

F5 tornadoes are just flat-out shit-your-pants scary.

 

[cubsneedmiracle]

Yeah,

Ive only seen a funnel cloud that was halfway down.

Id like to see a tornado in general. Just in the middle of no where.

Yeah never heard of this.

I've seen some pretty nasty storms come through Rockford. But no tornados.
