Chaser25973 Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 A friend of mine is talking to a gentleman from Washington, IL who is in Peoria, Illinois. He's not in the actual area with damage, but he's saying that Washington has been hit pretty hard as has Pekin. He's saying that Pekin is completely blocked right now.

a5ehren Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Where exactly is the stadium? Looks like the portion of the cell with the strongest rotation may slide east of the actual city? It's on the SE side of downtown, on the lakefront. I don't think the tornado is going to go downtown, but they're about to get winds and hail any moment.

Memphis Weather Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Where exactly is the stadium? Looks like the portion of the cell with the strongest rotation may slide east of the actual city? The tornadic cell should slide well SE of there, but there's a wind and lightning threat that for an open stadium can be plenty dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the tornado is going to go downtown, but they're about to get winds and hail any moment. Terrible...regardless of potential tornadic activity though those are some pretty nasty wind velocities nearing the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherwiz Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 Really interested to see how this activity unfolds as it continues to slide eastward towards Indiana. The atmosphere is taking a bit of time destabilizing and mesoanalysis still shows a decent amount of CIN over the area. However, steeper mid level lapse rates are advecting into that area which will certainly boost in instability values but it appears dewpoints are slightly lower as well over IN as compared to areas a bit further west, however, they seem to be creeping up. If anything, sfc winds also seem a bit more backed as well across IN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Global_Warmer Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 One of the Tornadic cells in SW IL, now in SE IL blew up right over me. It went from a little cloud to a massive deck of clouds and within 20 min it had a warning. The remarkable part is how damn fast it moved East. Incredible. I am very glad this event passed me by. I hope as many lifes can be spared today as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
