A tornado developed about 3 miles north-northwest of Farmersville, Illinois on Wednesday July 15th 2020 at 5:18 PM near the intersection of Rovey Lane and East 1st Road. A few storm chasers captured video of the tornado as it moved northeast and then north toward the Montgomery and Sangamon County Line. On video the tornado appeared to be multivortex and violent, yet damage in the St. Louis CWA was limited to a few broken tree branches, flattened corn and the partial destruction of a small outbuilding. Therefore, we must rate the torando as EF-0 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale. The tornado did continue north toward Divernon, IL in Sangamon County. WFO ILX (Lincoln, IL) will be providing the survey details for that portion of the track. We would like to thank Montgomery County Emergency Management for assisting us in documenting the damage from this tornado. .Farmersville Tornado (Montgomery County, IL)...
