Tornado outbreak of June 12, 2023
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
Meteorological synopsis[edit]
In the early morning, a squall line moved through Nebraska and Iowa producing a few tornadoes, including an EF2 tornado that tore the roof off of a home south of Logan, Iowa. Later in the day, the Storm Prediction Center issued a 10% chance of significant tornadoes for northern Illinois, including Chicago. A low-precipitation supercell produced a photogenic, but damaging high-end EF1 tornado that moved through the Chicago suburbs of Burr Ridge, Countryside, Hodgkins, McCook, Lyons and Stickney, snapping power lines and collapsing the roof and exterior walls of a motel.[1][2] A particularly dangerous situation tornado warning was issued for Chicago in result of this tornado.[3] Twin tornadoes also touched down near Elgin, Illinois, one of which was rated EF1 while the other was rated EF0.[4][5] The storms resulted in 172 flights being cancelled and over 550 flights delayed from Chicago O’Hare International Airport.[6]
