Took both pictures outside our door near Hwy65 and I44 just before sirens went off. You can see the trees and then just a 2 seconds later (according to photo date stamp) you could not see the trees. This was at 4:17pm CST. Torrential rain.
Tornado classified as EF1 hit just along Hwy65 and collapsed a roof at a Furniture Row and other small businesses received some damage on both sides of hwy65.
Trees down. Some electricity out. A few water rescues from flash flooding after we received rain at a rate of 2-3in/hr. This storm was a tiny thing that blew through strong and FAST!!
