The National Weather Service Offices in St. Louis, Lincoln, Chicago and Indianapolis have been busy working on surveying damage from last Wednesday’s storms.

So far 7 tornadoes have been confirmed, at least one more is believed to have hit Cumberland County. Crews from the National Weather Service will return Friday morning to parts of Cumberland, Clark and Edgar counties to assess more damage.

The National Weather Service in Chicago assessed damage in Iroquois County and found two tornadoes touched down there, one near Loda and the other near Cissna Park. The Loda tornado was rated an EF1 and the Cissna Park one was rated an EF0. WCIA was there shortly after the tornadoes and saw the damage firsthand.

The strongest tornado was an EF2 that touched down southwest of Greenville in Bond County. It was on the ground for 23 miles and had maximum winds of 130mph, making it a strong EF2 tornado. One person was reported injured in the Greenville area, according to local officials. It crossed the Fayette County line north of Mulberry Grove where it lifted before reaching IL 185 near Shafter.

Two tornadoes have been confirmed in Effingham County, with additional areas of damage being attributed to wind damage. An EF1 tornado touched down south of Altamont, and another EF1 tornado occurred south of Montrose. Other areas of straight line wind damage from wind gusts of 70-90 mph were assessed from Altamont east towards Watson and the Effingham airport.

An additional tornado is expected to be confirmed in Cumberland County based on initial information, but more details were not available. WCIA went to one of the hardest hit areas in Cumberland County to hear from a homeowner who was left with quite the mess.

In Edgar County, the National Weather Service Office in Indianapolis reports a tornado touched down on the Edgar County line and moved northeast, impacting the New Goshen area. It was rated an EF1. Another tornado was given an EF1 rating and hit parts of Parke County, IN.
