A day which had multiple chases, Erik gets in line for a tornado warned cell approaching the Lakemoor and Round Lake, IL areas in McHenry and Lake Counties. Late at nite the only visibility was the lightning but the sounds of Lakemoor's STH-10 was sure scary on its own.

Rich and Dave head back to Caledonia Illinois on Nov 24th to document the damage of a tornado which crossed directly through town.  While they saw the twister on that date, poor visibility failed in getting a snapshot of the tornado in progress.
