Forty years after its release, the iconic basketball film Hoosiers is still bringing fans together. Hundreds of people packed the VIP Theatre in Mattoon on Saturday to celebrate the movie’s 40th anniversary with a special screening and appearance by screenwriter Angelo Pizzo. Fans had the chance to hear behind-the-scenes stories from the man who brought the beloved underdog tale to life and ask questions about one of the most celebrated sports movies ever made. The event also featured a pair of famous vehicles from the film, including the team bus used by Hickory High and the car driven by Gene Hackman’s character, Coach Norman Dale, giving fans a unique opportunity to see a piece of movie history up close.

This was up near Dwight, IL, a large wedge tornado that moved through northeast Livingston county Thursday evening. Thanks to Kenneth Cline for the photo.

All right folks, the severe weather threat is over for tonight. An interesting day with a very powerful squall line with embedded tornadoes and widespread 70mph winds. Thanks to all who sent in pictures and videos. Thanks to all who trusted us with the coverage! I’ll leave you with this picture of myself from our TV coverage as I watched a power line arcing and sparking across from the TV station. Goodnight all!

Such a cool picture. Taken tonight east of Paris from Stacey Pruitt.

Ok folks, big heads up for Thursday. A rather intense line of storms is expected to blow through. This could be a high end wind event. This is one of those 80 mph setups. Stay weather aware as we fine tune the forecast.

Shelf cloud moving into Springfield. Strong storm about to hit.

Wrapping up with Forsyth and Mansfield. Lots of driving today, but a lot of updates for the collection.

Shout out to Sidell and Oakland, our two newest water towers in the collection. I’m on drone patrol today, so I’ll be adding in some more as I make my way across the viewing area today.
