Inland Hurricane Aftermath Marion, Illinois- part 1 / 5
We went driving around Marion a day after the storm and saw some things that looked just as though a hurricane came through. Well even though it was a 90mph wind storm that came through, the storm looked like a hurricane on radar images.

Carbondale, IL gets hit by a 20 minute 40 mile wide inland hurricane which had an average wind speed of 85 mph with gusts at ground level of 106 mph and 124 at treetop level.

Friday, May 8th 2009 an inland hurricane came through Southern Illinois. This is my video showing the damage, and how we made it a week with no power.
