One of the most memorable tornado outbreaks in Illinois
history occurred on April 19, 1996.
During the day, 33 tornadoes
were reported as supercells erupted and moved across
the state during the afternoon and evening hours.
Wind estimates in excess of 170 mph were
associated with some of the stronger tornadoes, one of which ripped through
nearby Ogden, IL.
