Episode Narrative A warm front was lifting northward through the region, triggering numerous showers and thunderstorms. Some of the storms produced tornadoes as well as a lot of large hail. There were 6 tornadoes with this event, including an EF3.
Event Narrative A tornado touched down approximately 1 mile east of the Centralia Municipal Airport, west of Moonglow Road and south of Illinois Route 161. Several large healthy trees were uprooted in this area and a convergent pattern was found. A house on the southwest corner of Moonglow Road and Illinois Route 161 sustained EF1 damage when the roof of an attached workshop or garage on the south side of the house was uplifted and thrown to the northwest. At least one 2x4 was driven into the roof on the north side of the house. A house on the southeast corner of Moonglow Rd. and Illinois Route 161 sustained minor roof damage. A trampoline on the south side of this house was blown back to the northwest and was found on the north side of Illinois Route 161. Debris was scattered into a field on the northwest corner of Moonglow Road and Illinois Route 161. As the tornado travelled to the northeast, it crossed Illinois Route 161 and damaged the east facing side of a small outbuilding on the northeast corner of Moonglow Road and Illinois Route 161. Further to the northeast, a new pole barn located east of Moonglow Road and south of Firewood Lane collapsed. Then the tornado lifted and dissipated. The total length of this tornado was about 0.4 miles with a maximum width of 50 to 75 yards. Maximum damage was rated EF1 with winds of 95 mph.
