Tornadoes

A time traveler from the year 2671 has a dire prediction for Missouri and Illinois about an electric tornado.

One of the most famous tornado videos in history comes from an elderly Illinois man and his video is known for all the wrong reasons. It's a textbook example of why you don't endanger yourself when a tornado approaches. He nearly videoed his own death as he and his home took a direct hit from the twister which did end up being tragic.

March 19, 1948 should have been like any typical morning in these Illinois communities. An incoming storm system had other plans. By the time most would wake that morning, a monster tornado had nearly wiped away 4 Illinois towns completely and took 60 lives.

You could tell this driver in Chicago, Illinois was in trouble the moment power flashes happened to the left side of his vehicle and debris appeared right in front of him. Video shows what happened when he drove straight through a violent tornado.

You think you've seen a lot of tornadoes in Illinois already in 2024, right? Well, you've never seen anything like what the world's worst time traveler just predicted. It's a twister set to hit in December that is powered by lightning and moves 800 mph. 1.21 Gigawatts!

We see our share of tornadoes in Missouri and Illinois. However, there is one twister that did something so strange I have yet to hear an explanation that can tell me how a monster twister managed to destroy everything, but miraculously left 1 lone house standing.

A storm chaser was after a large tornado in Missouri when he made one crucial mistake and found himself getting slammed by the twister he was chasing.

I've never seen a tornado, but I've been near a few. I prefer the much less dangerous type of wind events which is why I love this huge dust devil that was captured on video chewing up the dirt in a Missouri farm field.

We see thunderstorms that sometimes produce tornadoes and many that also produce lighting. One recent Midwest thunderstorm decided to overachieve by doing both simultaneously.

The classic understanding of "Tornado Alley" brings up images of big twisters in Oklahoma and Kansas. A new assessment by storm experts now estimates that "Tornado Alley" has moved east and now includes large parts of Missouri and Illinois.
