More tornado activity has been confirmed from the storms that pushed through the area on Sunday, June 21st. 

The National Weather Service says a low-pressure system brought unseasonably strong wind shear across portions of central and southeast Illinois, creating conditions favorable for severe weather.

Numerous severe thunderstorms developed south of Interstate 72, producing multiple tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and flooding in some areas. According to the National Weather Service, a total of 13 confirmed tornado touchdowns were reported by the end of the night.

The towns that saw damage were among the same counties that dealt with severe weather and tornadoes just a week before on Wednesday, June 17th. Stewardson and Bradbury saw an EF-0. Louisville, Neoga, North and South Annapolis, Birds, and Hadley all saw EF-1 tornadoes. Tower Hill, Edinburg and South Pekin Saw EF-U tornadoes.

According to the NWS, A tornado gets the rating of EF-U when the National Weather Service can confirm that a tornado occurred, but there was not enough reliable damage information to assign a wind speed rating. This usually happens when the tornado stayed over open fields, damage was limited or scattered, there were no structures or objects damaged that can be used as indicators, or when the survey team cannot confidently determine the level of damage.

Radar estimates indicate some locations received as much as five inches of rain, leading to localized flooding concerns. Several tornadoes were photographed across areas south of I-72.

The National Weather Service office in Lincoln is continuing to survey the damage and determine the strength and paths of the tornadoes reported.
