Tornado near Albion, Illinois, June 2, 1990

A widespread tornado outbreak transpired throughout the Midwest and Ohio River Valley on June 2, 1990, with several intense tornado families occurring in the late afternoon through evening hours across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. While this was a very concerning sight to the videographer and Albion, Illinois home owner, Davida Lesner, the tornado was one of the most gracefully dramatic video sequences recorded from this event. The tornado would produce F4 damage to several farms and homesteads across southeast Illinois.
