Yesterday we had a little tornado outbreak in the midwest. These pics were taken in my backyard as a severe storm passed over! It looked like it could tornado any second. This is probably the closest I've ever been to seeing a tornado...

What part of IL is Colonic in? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you used to live in Silvis or E.M.? Haven't been on here in a while so I don't remember if that was you or someone with a similar screen name.

That was some pretty nasty rain though. Was fun near the end of the storm when the rain was blowing parallel to the ground with pea sized hail in it. :bash:

Haha, I guess I can see why you might want to call it that. I figured it was Colona, but ya never know, some of those small towns aren't always on the map. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a Colonic somewhere haha

That's pretty freaky though. I didn't see any clouds that nasty looking when the storm came through. I pulled off into one of the parking lots along River Drive while the worst of the rain and hail was coming down.

Thats the norm in Illinois. I grew up in central Illinois and I remember a lot of severe T storms.
