Csnavywx, Kevlon62, NIU Jeff, and myself had a great chase yesterday.

We initially made it to Litchfield, IL where we sat for a while waiting for things to pop. We then raced northwest to get a good position on the tornadic cell crossing the Mississippi River. We caught up with it south of White Hall, IL where we saw a decent shelf cloud. We continued east where we encountered two gustnadoes. After seeing other cells start to affect this main supercell, we decided to drop off of it and pursue on of the cells moving in from the southwest.

The cell we picked was quickly tornado warned as we drove along the north side of the meso and south side of the FFD. It formed several wall clouds all of which quicly fell a part. A bowl shaped funnel then formed and we did see a brief touchdown down in on open field via dust/dirt at the surface, which then diminished. Suddently out of no where an inflow tail rapidly developed out of the cold/hail producing FFD to our north. This was very low to the ground, was accompanied by winds around 60mph and was rapidly being wrapped into the new rapidly forming funnel. The second tornado ended up dropping near Barnett, IL west of I-55 as we wached from the I-55/Route 108 JCT. The tornado crossed I-55 about 1 1/2 miles to our south and then proceeded to move northeast where it did hit a few structures near Honey Bend, IL before weakening/lifting southwest of Raymond, IL.

We then decided to drop down to I-70. On our we down there, we ended up getting hit by the line which produced winds around 60mph and knocked down small tree branches. We finally made it to I-70 where we ended up following the line for a bit and then sat in Greenfield, IL waiting for what was the St. Louis, IL supercell to pass. It produced winds around 60mph and hail around marble size.

Here are a few shots of the Honey Bend/I-55 tornado.

Gonna have to wait for more info on exact path. Not a big deal in the scheme of things but it's sort of important personally since I keep track of all Tippy county tornadoes and a separate list of those which hit within the LAF borders.

Nice pics!

The formation of that inflow tail was unbelievable. It formed about a half mile east our our location, and screamed southward around the back side of the wall cloud. Looked like a huge bank of fog just above the ground from our location, except it was moving very quickly lol.

Just going through storm reports & public info statements, here is what I compiled as far as tornadoes confirmed in Indiana:

The NWS has confirmed several tornadoes from Tuesday's outbreak: EF2 in Tippecanoe Co near Lafayette; an EF1 in Boone Co just west of Thorntown; an EF1 tornado in Jay Co near Antiville; an EF1 tornado in Grant Co West of Fairmount; an EF1 tornado in Grant Co southwest of Upland; an EF1 in Switzerland Co; EF1 in Dubois Co near St. Anthony; EF2 in Dubois Co near Bretzville; EF0 in Dubois Co near Huntingburg; EF1 in Dubois Co near Ireland; 2 EF0 tornadoes in Cass County

Preliminary number of 15 tornadoes makes this one of the biggest April outbreaks in Indiana in terms of raw count. The amazing thing is that I haven't seen one picture or video of a tornado yet and I guess the reason why is that many of them were rain-wrapped/brief (plus it was dark). Makes you wonder how many of these went undocumented in the past.
