Ten years ago today, I intercepted the Manchester, IL tornado. My best storm chase up to that time.
This was the early stages of the first of 3 relatively long-track tornadoes that occurred in Illinois that day. This one was on the ground for 18 miles in 3 counties. It went through part of the town of Manchester, causing a fair amount of damage, but fortunately, no injuries.
