I have been trying to get ahold of pics from a Tornado from 1990 that went past my place of employment while I was there. It cut our powerlines and caused us to have a really bad day at work. It ended up destroying a couple of towns including the one I grew up in and killing several peole. I finally got ahold of the pics that I can show my kids. They have always wanted to see pics of it and I thought you might to Here it is going past the plant ( my crew was outside watching) another pic The news paper artical
If I could be a chaser I'd do It In a heart beat, that stuff Is awesome to look at (somewhere else)!! Them twisters are some scary mean SOB's though. I hope like hell I never have one come through here and cause havoc with my family. Cool pics Dan, thanks for sharing!!
Very cool, I've always found natural disasters to be very interesting. The science behind it is awesome, and just the shear power they contain amazes me. I would definitely be a storm chaser if I had the opportunity, but I don't know if I could make it through some of the boring meteorology schooling.
We had a smaller tornado run though our town during the fair, we could see it across town on while we were on top of the farris wheel, before they closed down for the night.
If I remember right, Dan, that evening sparked a lot of tornados over a 3 state area. Can't remember the exact number, but it was insane. I remember being rushed off the little league diamond in my home town which was only 45 miles due north of Mt. Carmel. We had several funnel clouds, but no twisters. All the tornados went south of us in Indiana and I'm pretty sure that storm line wreaked havoc in Ohio as well.
Had to look it up just to see how well my 29 yr. old memory is!!! Looks like it was pretty good! The June 1990 Lower Ohio Valley tornado outbreak is a tornado outbreak that occurred in southern Illinois, central and southern Indiana, southwestern Ohio, and northern Kentucky on Saturday June 2 and Sunday June 3, 1990. By the end of the outbreak during the early morning hours on June 3, 66 tornadoes had struck the Ohio River Valley including seven of F4 intensity. One F4 tornado trekked 94 miles from southeastern Illinois into southern Indiana killing one person. Thirty-seven tornadoes occurred in Indiana, a record for a single day. It eclipsed the previous record of 21 set during the Super Outbreak in April, 1974.[1] Twelve tornadoes struck Illinois.[2]
The one that went through camp atterbury two years ago was only about 2 miles down the road from my house. The devastastion those things cause is absolutely amazing.
Sure is. I lived in Princeton for a couple years too. Right east of town, right off the highway on Top Hat Road. That was the longest two years of my life.:D
Its amazing how much power is instilled in them I seen christmas tree tensil stuck in a utility pole after this one
