I am starting this thread because I am curious to know if anyone was chasing the storm. It is the only F-5 ever to occur in the month of August and killed 29 while injuring 353.
The Chicago Tribune has an article about the tornado, www.chicagotribune.com/news/weather/ct-met-plainfield-tornado-0826-20100826,0,6307501.story
as well as an article about why there would be a warning today if the same tornado situation were to present itself: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/...d-tornado-science-08220100827,0,2597205.story
Since there was no warning, I'm sure it would be interesting to learn what motivated people to chase the storm.
