My good friend went on a walking tour of Plainfield, IL with his video camera to capture tornado devastation on September 1, 1990. This clip is from near St. Mary's Catholic Church. Index of all the clips is at roytaylor dot info.

  • this video is stupid because i don't really care what happened to you're church.

  • I was about a block away in a house on Frederick St. One corner of the house was ripped out, and the roof was lifted off and dropped back on. Don't remember most of it, even though I was awake and conscious.

  • i live in plainfeild

  • That was an F5 and I lived about 5 miles north of the path and didn't see any damage where I lived.

  • I can remember this dominating the airtime on local newscasts. Pretty obvious why.

  • What F rating did they give this? I remember this happening, but don't remember what rating was given to this tornado. Maybe F-4?

  • i live in planfield as well.

  • My grandpa and I went to the church a fews days after and took a few pieces of stained glass that was on the ground. I still have it in my bedroom.

  • @carlthe4th

    well arent you a fuckin king? remember this is the 1990s and the style back then were mullets. 20 bucks thats still yer trend today

  • Nice thick midwestern accent, haircut and shorts loser! Haha I grew up in Plainfield a few years after the tornado. All the kids I grew up with would start to cry and piss their pants whenever it would start to rain! What a bunch of pussies!!
