ED. NOTE: PHOTOS ARE HERE:

I have the track data from where this Tornado
developed 3 miles West of Forest City, Illinis. I also
have the first jpeg photo of this cel forming into the
Tornado, as well of all photos of damage in Mason and
Tazewell County, Illinios, would like some jpegs from
the rest of the track.

The location of the Tornado that caused heavy damage Friday evening formed up at
a point 3 miles to the West of the small village of Forest City, Illinois, the track was about 085 degrees for 10 -15 miles at a speed of 45 miles per hr. it then changed to a more South East track continuing down to Clinton, (I only verified the track into Logan County), In Mason and Tazewell County about 25 Irrigation rigs where damaged, 8 Large farm buildings, One home gone, but from the damage in this area I would extimate a max of F2, and less. I have all of the damage photos and the First Pic. of the Tornado.
