Chicago WX Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Some guy on Chad Evans' blog is saying he spotted a brief tornado east of the Meijer in Lafayette and supposedly other people witnessed something too. Have not yet seen any pics/video from there or the other areas where tornadoes were reported. Well, as I said last night on here...the wind wasn't gusty, rather it was sustained at a pretty good clip. Though the rain was coming down so hard, and in conjunction with the wind, I couldn't really see anything here.

DLMKA Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Storm on west side of Bloomington, IL was strong downburst which I suspected based on damage photos I saw. http://wjbc.com/nws-downburst-not-a-tornado-in-mclean-co/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was anything then it should've been several minutes earlier, but I guess that is within the "margin of error" so to speak. No idea how reliable he is. Just looking through that gallery there are a few pics of low hanging clouds/appendages that could be mistaken for funnels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a lot of scud/low hanging clouds that I remarked about last night, before it hit my place. Probably a mistaken funnel as you mention. My co-worker was in Dayton this morning and said there was some tree damage. I guess that's our local typical damage zone, so no surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Dayton has been a hot spot at least in the past several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
