So, yesterday, Kim and I were driving home from a wedding down in Peoria. We're heading up 55 and see the clouds go from light and fluffy to dark and angry. Still, no rain. We keep driving and then out of the blue we're blitzed with a ridiculous thunderstorm. Crazy lightening, unreal types of rain. I couldn't see much further than a foot out the window. The best part was 55 is under construction so the roads aren't too wide and there's a nice, cushy cement wall to the left. Good times. I kept telling Kim, "I want to see a tornado! I don't want to be in it, but see it form..." I kept looking left at the nasty clouds (pre-crazy rain), but after seeing this video, I should have been looking right.
This guy from Monee, IL (25 miles west of where we were driving) took a great video of a tornado that formed up, no more than a mile from his house. Now, I'm not saying it's the same storm that we drove through, but if it makes the story cooler I might just add that detail.
Anyway
The video is wild. It makes me take back what I said. I no longer want to see the tornado form, I'd rather watch it on someone else's video camera.
