Illinois tornado video
Several tornadoes moved through central Illinois Saturday night causing major damage. The first tornado was spotted around 9:30 p.m. Indiana time, near Elmwood, a little town west of Peoria in central Illinois. “National Weather Service meteorologists and storm spotters were tracking a large and extremely dangerous wedge tornado,” the agency said. Here are some pics from Elmwood. Two of those tornadoes touched down in Elmwood within four minutes, creating what witnesses on the scene afterward called a war zone. A 30-foot hole was ripped in the roof of the Palace Theatre there, and a number of other downtown businesses were badly damaged.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a tornado emergency for the Peoria metro area. The tornado was spotted four miles northwest of the Peoria airport.
