April 22, 2011 St. Louis area tornadoes

Convective Addiction chaser Jesse Risley and his chase partners track a supercell from near Jefferson City, MO to Glen Carbon, IL. The supercell produced several tornadoes in the St. Louis area. Watch as strong, embedded circulation pass over I-64 right after doing structural damage near New Melee, MO, then hits Pontoon Beach, IL as power flashes illuminate the nighttime sky. Finally, join the crew as they take a walk through Lambert-St. Louis International Airport in the aftermath of the tornado.

Excellent footage! I too was on that cell. I was in IL and waited in Collinsville, IL as it crossed into IL.
