After a busted day in northern Illinois, I wound up in Champaign the night before where I awakened to large moderate risk/15%-hatched-tornado to my south, encompassing an area I use to call home during my stint as the WSIL Weather Warrior.  It’s always a treat to come back to this area, albeit on much calmer circumstances.  My morning social media update hit the nail on the head as it’s unusual I am there just cause and often find myself in the region thanks to bad weather.  Remember folks, I don’t control, I just follow it.
