Peoria, IL (WMBD) – We’re now into the middle of June which means the type of storms we tend to see in changing. Your Local Weather Authority sat down to talk about derecho climatology along with hot car safety tips. This Day in Weather History looked back at June 1981 at a tornado that took an 80 mile path from Tazewell to Champaign county. The final rating was an F1, but it’s likely that this was multiple funnels being spotted across the long path. Our next stop is June 1976 in Lemont, IL.

She’s missing most of her ears and her tail had to be amputated due to an infection. Even with all that, she’s still very affectionate and ready to be adopted now that she’s healed up.
