No where near I'm in Canada, hehe.

Do you guys actually get lots of tornadoes in Illinois?
I know some dude on Flickr who seems to do quite a lot of stormchasing. I guess mostly in Southern Saskatchewan and South Dakota and the images he posts there are just breathtaking.

well

earlier last month we had several tornado's just north and south of here

so id say it happens fairly often


just not as often as say oklahoma and some other southern states


i actually follow storm chasers regularly

the guys who do the show storm chasers on discovery have their own site

http://www.tornadovideos.net/

they do live feeds and everything wherever a tornado might be

Holy crap!
That video is awesome!
Thanks for sharing
I didn't even know they get tornadoes in MN thought the weather there is just as boring as northern Europe

they have someone streaming right now

up in west wisconsin just east of min.

tornado on the ground

Wow that's cool!
Those guys in Kansas seem to be pretty close to to some nasty clouds. Too bad the resolution of those videos are very low
I wonder how often they get tornadoes down there

Tornados all the time I'd assume, there are lots of them in the states.

very often

I thought that tornadoes are only common in the "tornado alley" which is most of the central part of USA

never knew they get those as far north as Illinois.

haha I find this part funny:
"90% of tornadoes hit this region of the U.S because cold, dry air from Canada and the Rocky Mountains meets warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and hot, dry air from the Sonoran Desert, which combines with atmospheric instability to produce intense thunderstorms"
Canada is so evil

We're evil in a sneaky way... gotta make up somehow for all the niceness!
