...Boone and McHenry County Tornado...

The tornado moved across the Chicago and Northweastern Railroad where it blew 12 frieght cars off the track. The train was moving at the time the tornado hit it...so as the main engine stopped...the remaining cars on the track continued along it and slammed into the front part of the train. This caused a few more cars to derail...including one containing hazardous materials that caused the evacuation of the town of Lawrence. The damage in Lawrence was rated as EF2 with winds up to 110 MPH.
