OMG...not good. Saying many injuries and destoryed homes in Webster County per Emergency Management, and that storm with the Tornado reported on the ground is getting ready to move into that same area.

Chicago, IL hit 65 degrees F today... that's incredible warmth (36 degrees above average!) for that area during January, and it illustrates the extent of "fuel" for this outbreak.

The OK and SW MO cells appear to be congealing into a squall line. Hopefully, that is the case for Springfield's sake and other areas...

I'd watch for new supercells to form ahead of the line, and to the south...

[MiamiensisWx]

There's one report via WBBM radio (according to one poster on another board) that indicates "entire subdivisions obliterated" across Kenosha County.

[jasons2k]

Wow, I didn't realize it was this bad...

I can say the LLJ south of the system is really cranking; it's incredibly windy here in Houston, especially for it being after sunset. It's like April outside.

Kudos to Ed for nailing Springfield earlier.

Here's news from Kenosha: http://www.kenoshanews.com/

Hey can y'all tell me if any tornados have hit Springfield. My stepdaughter lives there and it looks bad from what I saw on the online tv station sites. She lives over on Grand St. near the Kansas Expressway? Over near Fort St. Any info would be great. WE are down in TExas and not much news going on here about what is happening there.

There have been (at least) two tornadoes in the Springfield area, including one reported rope tornado (briefly lifted) near the airport and a large one through the city. I'm not certain about the effects at her location; I need more information from local sources and other data.
