June 7 2008 Chicago / Interstate 57 Area Tornadoes

www.prairiestormmedia.com

Large tornadoes across northern Illinois on the evening of June 7 2008. Tornadoes pushed towards the southern suburbs of Chicago (Richton Park area). All video was shot by and copyright Andrew Pritchard, www.prairiestormmedia.com.

Not that anyone reads these before posting comments... but the loud squealing noise in the first half is the power inverter that I use to power my laptop. It was having issues not drawing enough power, and makes the obnoxious beep to alert you. I eventually unplugged it and did away with the laptop.

[BlessedResistanceX]

Isn't that a tornado siren at 2:46 doing no one any good? It looks like the ones we have around here.
