Tornadoes

I demand a recount. A new ranking of the states with the most dangerous weather doesn't have Missouri anywhere near the top. How can this be? Science I suppose.

I was gonna use the word "guess", but there is some science behind a prediction of how many tornadoes Missouri and Illinois will see in 2024.

It has only happened once and will hopefully never happen again. There was a wind event in Missouri that is so legendary that the speed of the winds were double that of even a category 5 hurricane.

I've got good news and I've got bad news. There is a quiet place in Illinois that was just named the safest city in America. How can that be bad news? Well, something happened there recently that was the opposite of safe.

I'm not predicting that Friday the 13th will be full of unlucky happenings, but you need to know that our part of Missouri and Illinois is in the area of the highest probability of tornadoes according to meteorologists.

One nice thing about Fall arriving in Missouri is we're finally out of tornado season, right? Wrong. As a matter of fact, one internet meteorologist is warning that Missouri could see strong tornadoes in October and maybe even November based on current weather patterns.

The old saying says "When it rains, it pours". That is sadly even more true for a small Missouri town that was slammed by a deadly tornado in April and is now under flood waters brought about by 8 inches of rain.

One storm chaser recently discovered a 'monster lurking in the corn' - a massive EF-2 tornado that he couldn't see initially because a field of corn was blocking his view.

You'll want to pay attention to weather warnings on Friday as meteorologists are expecting potential development of violent storms that will be moving through Missouri and Illinois.

At any time in Illinois, you might see any number of things cruising down your street. Vehicles obviously, the occasional dog walker, exercise freaks...oh and tornadoes. That's what one family saw zooming down their street recently.
