It JUST missed the center of Rochelle, IL itself ...
generally north and west of the town's center. People live there too, of course, but just less so.
Many crazy crazy videos of that storm. Seriously, thunderstorms that can anchor on a boundary such as a warm front, as this one appears to have done, can get significantly ramped up and more violent.
Paying attention to these storms myself here in Cincinnati. The currently discrete storms over southern Illinois will likely gel into a line then blast through here in the wee hours. But a situation worth paying attention to.
