what a day!! damage and tornado pics

here are some incredible damage pictures to a house near a corn field and a garage as was hit directly from a tornado just east of elkhart IL southeast of Lincoln around 3pm.

we were chasing the supercell and were traveling east of rd 10 and ran into the damage path of the tornado from about 20 mins before we got there.

we took some pictures and continued to the storm and ended up seeing two 2 tornadoes, although are to hard to see due to the contrast of them but they were for sure tornadoes.







corn stalks blown over
























tornado 1, hard to see due to contrast.
















tornado 2, very hard to see but if you look close can see it roping out, was better as we were farther away driving to it but roped out as we got closer and stopped, looked like it re-cycled and produced a good funnel about 10 mins after but never produced again.
a very tough day but it paid off, will have more discussion later.
