mob1 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just now, janetjanet998 said: yikes now just NE of town though? On Google maps it looks like the entire city is confined in a very small area with not much around it, if there was anything on the ground (which is very likely) it went just NE of town.

yoda Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md1719.html Mesoscale Discussion 1719 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1000 PM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019 Areas affected...central and southern Illinois...southern Indiana...and into parts of western Kentucky Concerning...Tornado Watch 575... Valid 130300Z - 130500Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 575 continues. SUMMARY...Strong/severe storms have become well-established across central Illinois and vicinity. Damaging winds will likely become the primary severe risk, though tornado risk continues across central Illinois. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a band of convection in a roughly west-to-east band across central Illinois, that continues to shows signs of gradual upscale growth. However, updrafts still remain sufficiently separated spatially to reveal pronounced supercell characteristics in radar imagery, including a few strongly rotating cells. One such cell -- which appears likely to have been producing a tornado over the past half hour -- has now moved into northern Shelby County Illinois. With time, expect upscale growth to continue, with storms likely evolving into an east-southeastward-moving storm complex, where damaging winds would likely become the primary severe risk. This could require southeastward watch issuance later this evening. In the mean time, risk for damaging winds and a tornado or two will continue in the short term. ..Goss.. 08/13/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

kevlon62 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 These were taken about 8:23 p.m. CST at 37,000 feet. I believe this is what is hitting St. Louis area now. Pilot got on after passing these to say he was dodging next group of developing cells in central Illinois. As we deplaned he commented that he wished he had time to snap a few shots. Unfortunately mine were taken from the aisle seat. A lot of good lightning visible for the guy shooting video in my row.
