Tornado (or a wall cloud) in Will county, IL -- 6/7/08

[Torn80cj]

Definetly a wall cloud. I noticed the right side of the wall cloud moving some towards the right. And when ever your camcorder went to the left I noticed some brightness in the sky, especially at the 1:11 spot in the video. You most likely were facing in a westerly direction when filming the storm. Being that you're up north and it was June, you may have been facing to the Northwest.

[Arlingtoncards]

Could you please tell me the approximate location of the camera in this video and the direction it is facing ... the nearest major cross streets intersection. I am plotting all of the YouTube sightings on a Google map at ArlingtoncardsDOTcomSLASHweath­erblog Thanks!

[strawb3rri86]

I'm not sure of the direction, but I think I was facing east. The closest major street is W. Exchange in Crete, IL. I hoped I help.

[michluvshim]

[happy159753]

me too lol

[jonhut111]

sometimes a wall cloud is not a tornado.... but this looks to me more like a shelf cloud...

[AeroStorm911]

Definitely a wall cloud. You can see the somewhat straited meso above it. There could have been a tornado but the ground level view was blocked by trees. That is some amazing structure shots tho, nice work!

[strawb3rri86]

Thank you. I love your videos to, I wish I could one day actually catch a real tornado. :)

[wowizjerry]

haha anyimte, but not lying!!!!! :P..did it do damage to ur house?

[strawb3rri86]

Nope, it didn't do anything to my house.

[hluv2sing]

"look at the grayness. follow the grayness"

[strawb3rri86]

[djrider86]

i remember seeing this, i live in university park. heard it but didnt as much as you got here.

[Cretestormchaser]

wow.... your right thats a wall cloud but in no way is that the tornado!! trust me i was chasing it!!!

[strawb3rri86]

Yea, that's what I thought. And wow cool, you chased it? That's what I kind of wanted to do...far away from it. lol

[wowizjerry]

ohh and fyi ur voice is rather funny and i love it!!! dont be embarrased...u seem like a very kind person!!! i would be scaed...like i commented on your other tornado video, i live in tinley park. about 10- 15 mintues awway from here..SCARY:P

[strawb3rri86]

Lol, aww, thanks :). And yes it was scary.

[batmansgottheclap]

nice video. f'n stupid people.

[neo3nfsmw]

tornado or not srill looks kind of scary

[strawb3rri86]

Well, I think I know that by now...lol. Alot of people already told me. I'm not a expert, so that's why I put a tornado or a wall cloud because I was unsure.

[mktarrant]

LMAO best TORNADO video ever. hahaha you guys are fuckin hilarious

[Prettygirl5846]

hahah i hope my house is ok. lol

[Prettygirl5846]

thats nasty looking!

[TwistedChaz]

I didn't think people actually spoke like that.

[strawb3rri86]

True, but there were reports of tornadoes and damage out here. Ranging from EF0-EF2. This is rare out here. Even a wall cloud is rare. :)

[nadokid1]

That was a wall cloud! but it dos'nt al ways mean that there is a tornado. It just means there is rotation (rotating updraft)in the thunder storm. that's a supercell

[parkman35]

Awesome straw....girl those storm chasers are gonna sign you up if you keep making vids like this!

[strawb3rri86]

lol, I doubt it but thanks. :)

[lineout06]

[ITALIANdaSTALION]

[strawb3rri86]

[HaynTay2412]

HOLY CRAP IM IN WILL COUNTIE!

[cheesearod]

[fuzzybekool]

Classic anvil shape you would encounter on the plains in Kansas amd Oklahoma. Very rare to see this cloud formation in Will County, Illinois.

[strawb3rri86]

I know. That's what surprised everyone out here.

[TheFiendTV]

That shit nearly hit my house, but that fucker is huge!

[sexii149]

[JASPERSMY]

Great Video, was watching on-line last night in the UK. We love your accent too :-)

Glad you all stayed safe. Thanks, GREAT wall cloud, 58 Tornado reports from this day!!

[strawb3rri86]

Lol, thank you.:) Yes, this was one crazy day.

[slmetz23]

follow the grayness? wtf, the whole freaking sky is grey! cool video though, that was definately a tornadic storm!

[theinfernumflame]

I believe that's a shelf cloud, actually, which is why it was moving so quickly. Wall clouds are quite a bit smaller.  Still, impressive video.

[strawb3rri86]

Thank you, I wasn't to sure what it was. I'm new to this.

[theinfernumflame]

That's ok, you still got some great video out of it. Thanks for posting it. :)
