I don't think I ever heard tornadoes taking shape close to my residence (Rockford), nor did I know that I was actually under a mesocyclone. COOL. I do remember that stormy night, with the winds, rains, pounding hail and rapid lightning, just like in the video. I still remember the MASSIVE supercell storm that dropped a major tornado at Plainfield in the late summer of 1990.

I was about 12 when this happened. I wasn't in belvedere, but i wasn't too far from there. I remember being terrified because It was just me, my younger brother, my older sister and our cats home since our parents had gone away, can't entirely remember where they went. But i remember my 14 year old sister rushing us downstairs once we heard the sirens go off. This was the first time i experienced a tornado without my parents around, it's really scary stuff.

So much destruction in Fairdale and Rochelle, Illinois. Nice little farm towns outside of Chicago. Very sad.

I live in Rockford and this was SCARY! My brother brought us downstairs because my mom was at a hair appt and my dad was at work in Chicago and my brother (Simon) was watching me, my sister (stella), and my other brother (Oliver) and I had my blankey and I was so scared. Simon was brave enough to run upstairs and grab the pretzels! 😂 My dad used to be president of the GRBL baseball league in Rockford and there were so many times when I was playing and the tornado sirens went of and we had to go back into the cars and stop the game... GRBL is shutdown now and I miss the days when I got to play. I would join boys and girls club but they take it way too seriously there. I was always playing in the all star games and I really miss having the all star patch on my jerseys. :(

we drove to DeKalb after this had dissipated. The flattened Grubstakers had search lights going, in fact there were lots of searchlights everywhere. I saw a tree against the sky and panicked there was another tornado.
