The EF-2 tornado touched down in far eastern
Christian County where a spotter captured
video of the tornado heading toward and
crossing IL Route 48. The tornado remained
weak with minimal damage until it crossed US
Hwy 51 and reached Elwin. The damage between
Elwin and Turpin included numerous snapped
large trees as well as several homes with
roof damage. Some of the more significant
damage with this tornado occurred along E
Skyline Drive as the tornado removed the
majority of the roofs off of 8 homes and
produced complete destruction of a garage
that was tossed to the next block. Very
large trees were also snapped off in that
area. More home roof damage and tree damage
occurred between S Baltimore Ave and S Mount
Zion Rd, as the tornado crossed Bentonville
Rd at Mount Zion Rd. The tornado weakened
after that point, but was video taped by a
couple of spotters progressing east all the
way into Piatt County before dissipating
near State Hwy 32. The tornado was on the
ground for 34 minutes covering 23.6 miles
with a peak wind speed of 120 mph.
