Morrisonville, Illinois

All of my account prior to 2008 were recently lost, so I'm in the process of updating and re-writing every chase account. This is proving to be very time-consuming so for now this day remains to be updated.





Beautiful supercell to our south near Rushville, IL


Same supercell now, as we approach Jacksonville, IL.
Many hours later, near Morrisonville.

Beautiful supercell now at dusk with a beefy wall cloud.
Rapidly rotating under there now. May actually have been a tornadic circulation already.
Funnel cloud developing now.
This very well could be a tornado now, but we were unable to note any major ground circulation.
Getting closer to Taylorville now at dark, with a wall cloud still to our east.
Beautiful supercell still, though we were low on gas, food, and daylight so the chase was called as we entered Taylorville.
