Peoria Tornado, witness to it's birth...
This was my las picture before hopping in the van and taking shelter, the mass and rotation of the wall cloud is very noticeable. About 30 secinds later, my van was being buffeted by winds and almost-horizontal rain, from what felt like multple directions at once. No hail, but rain drops were BIG and hitting hard enough, I couldn't even talk on my cell phone because of the noise from the winds/rain. My van was being 'wobbled' by the winds, and it was heavily loaded, estimated the winds were about 75-85, maybe a little stronger at their highest velocity.
