on april 21st 1967 one of the most devastating tornadoes ever to hit the chicago metro area occured, what im wondering is if there is any data i can retreive where it shows if the lake had anything to do with this powerful F4 tornado to hit the south suburbs, it passed 1/8th of a mile from my current home and my dad grandma and grandpa survived it, so i am very interested in getting any type of data i can about it

Darn.. has it been 10 years already?? I was at work and enginering that night. I remember it well even though we didn't do that much. I don't even think Zion called for mutual aid that night.
Time flies.....
