The Storm In Pictures

Here is a variety of pictures depicting the horror, violence, and damage distributed by last night's storm in Yorkville.

Today's forecast calls for scattered clouds, but with the looming possibility of development of isolated thunderstorms later this afternoon.  These storms aren't looking to become severe since there is a high pressure system to our west, however it is still possible with the cold front moving down from the north.  

We are looking at a high of 93°F with winds out of the northwest at 5-10 mph.

This is a follow-up for my description of the storm.  That article is located here

WOW, That's right across the street from us. Just shingles and lawn furniture in the pool for us. We were downtown Yorkville when it hit. Lot's of downed trees on Van emmon rd.

Thank you, Tammy. The barn definitely left a lot of shingles in the field for us. We spent an hour or two just picking them up. We're fortunate that no-one got hurt.

Your description was very good and frightening! As my husband, Gary stated, "That's right across the street from us". I am thankful that no one was injured. It could have been very bad for all in the area.
