Title:
Southern Illinois "inland hurricane" May 2009

Description:
Recently Southern Illinois counties Jackson, Williamson, and Franklin was deamed a disaster area after some severe weather. National Weather Service called it a "inland hurricane". I work as an EMT and was at work during the storm. I caught it at it's peak on video. The junk flying around is debre from a house next door to our station in Marion that recently burned down. You see me run out to the end of the building to get closer but then I sensed something fly to close to my head. We're used to tornados around here but nothing like this. The fastest wind speed was clocked at 109 MPH. Homes and cars all over were damaged, power outages for many days and thousands of trees pulled right out of the ground.

Hurricane in Illinois
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. I am continually amazed at how well the whole community pulled together to help each other out. I won't soon forget it. They're calling it Derecho, and Akila I think?
