EF1 tornado in Piatt County, Illinois

A tornado touched down just north of the intersection of East 600 North Road and North 500 East Road about 5 miles southwest of Bement at 12:02am CDT June 11th. The tornado initially damaged two large trees, then tracked northeastward through open fields south of IL-105. It removed the roof of a grain storage building and snapped two power poles where IL-105 turns north toward Bement. The tornado destroyed a camper along North 1000 East Road, then damaged a grain bin, a couple outbuildings, and numerous trees along East 900 North Road before dissipating before reaching the county line at 12:08am CDT June 11th.

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.
