Скачать или смотреть I Visited the Albion, IL Tornado Farm from June 2, 1990!

If you're a connoisseur of 90s tornado videos, you remember the video from Albion, Illinois and the June 2nd, 1990 tornado outbreak. On that date, an outbreak of violent tornadoes struck Illinois and Indiana, many of them photogenic and highly visible from a long distance. That led to a lot of great tornado videos shot by residents! One such video became famous world wide. It showed a tornado approaching in the distance on an Illinois farm, as the residents chatted about the approaching tornado in colorful fashion. The F4 tornado passes within a mile of the farm before disappearing into the distance.

This video was huge in shaping my early childhood fascination in tornadoes and Midwest severe weather. While giving a talk on disruptive weather in Fairfield, IL just down the road from Albion, I got the surprise of a lifetime!
