I remember the wind and the hail when I lived near Ridgefield, my mom yelled at me to get in the house...

This is Illinois. I lived through this...8 years old. The shopping center shown was across the street. It was very scary!

Is this in Michigan?

@JRCollinsfan No it's in Crystal Lake, Illinois

I was born that day... ouch ...Abraham Lincoln died, 100 years ago before this in 1865

yikes the part where the truck is landed in the foundation is rather chilling makes you wonder how powerful an f-4 or 5 tornado can be
