Chicago bears are playing, fans have been warned to know where to go in case of severe weather.:eek:

''US National Weather Service Northern Indiana

ALERT! TORNADO OUTBREAK LIKELY TODAY!
Hopefully you have heard by now that there will be a dangerous severe weather outbreak today. This event should not be taken lightly, and not taking action once warnings are issued is irresponsible and could result in injury or death.

The tornadic threat is high

The damaging wind threat is very high


Major cities with strong tornado threat today include the following: Chicago, Springfield, Peoria, IL; Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, IN; Grand Rapids, Lansing, Detroit, MI; Toledo, Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnatti, OH; Louisville, Lexington, to Paducah, KY.

I checked google maps and the camera is facing NW. Not the best angle but better than nothing....plus there's audio too :-) Plus, there's a 24 hour archive in 1 hour blocks so you can check back in time if you are not around to catch the live action

Was watchingTVN Live [Donovan Gruner] online outside of Pontiac and saw a beauty Tornado and then they lose their connection.

Edit: Sadly it looks like the one that had hit Washington.

Reed Timmer Facebook "We just observed 3 tornadoes northeast of Peoria, IL. Very large cone tornado."

That's what I was watching.

Looks quite severe over there. The risk to human life in these highly populated areas is always the concern. Hopefully people heeded the warnings and got to safety quickly. Am I just missing it, or is coverage a bit light about the place?

RT FB "Confirmed tornado 10 miles south of Delphi, IN in NW Clinton Co. heading to southern Carroll County. Moving northeast at 75 mph!!!"
