Storm chasers the nanosecond they cross the state border into Kansas
Alright. If you are a storm chaser tour van and you think it’s a wise idea to backup into oncoming traffic on a highway and almost cause a pileup of cars crashing you should NOT be driving tours. Many horrible drivers in Kansas today.

Has to be the strongest EF-1 I’ve ever seen #ilwx
Jun 12
Our survey team has confirmed an EF-1 tornado in central Livingston County, including near Dwight. The tornado appeared to be largely in open fields limiting the number of structures impacted.
More updates will be coming soon. #ILwx

I think what we’ve learned in 2026 is that to bag a TOTY candidate you have to be named Daniel and be 30 miles away from the rest of the chasers @DanielShawAU

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.

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

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

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