EF1 tornado in Sangamon County, Illinois

A tornado touched down along Moore Road about 3 miles west of Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport at 11:04pm CDT. It tracked eastward across the airport, lofting 6,000lb aircraft hangars and rolling an enclosed trailer. The tornado then struck the Animal Protective League animal shelter on Taintor Road where it uplifted the roof and collapsed the east wall of the building. As it continued across the north side of Springfield, numerous trees were damaged or snapped and a few homes sustained siding and shingle damage. The tornado then moved across Camp Butler and into Mechanicsburg where it caused additional tree and building damage before dissipating about 5 miles east of Mechanicsburg just north of the Sangamon River at 11:30pm CDT.

A line of thunderstorms developed ahead of an approaching cold front during the evening of June 10th. Scattered wind damage was observed along and north of the I-72 corridor, with the most concentrated damage focusing across portions of Menard, Logan, Sangamon, and Macon counties where the cells interacted with an existing outflow boundary from earlier storms. Six tornadoes touched down within this corridor, including an EF-1 tornado that tracked across Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport and the north side of Springfield.
