... A TORNADO WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHERN NEWTON AND SOUTHEASTERN KANKAKEE COUNTIES UNTIL 1100 PM CDT...
AT 1032 PM CDT... NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR AND STORM SPOTTERS WERE TRACKING A LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO. THIS TORNADO WAS LOCATED NEAR HOPKINS PARK... OR 7 MILES SOUTH OF MOMENCE... MOVING EAST AT 35 MPH.
THE TORNADO WILL BE NEAR... CONRAD... LAKE VILLAGE AND ENOS AROUND 1050 PM CDT. ROSELAWN AROUND 1100 PM CDT.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
TORNADOES ARE DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. TAKE COVER NOW.
This warning is out as I type... Pray for those in the path.
We ended up with about 3 tornadoes. We (my friend and I) were enjoying a nice evening gearing up to have a game sleepover. The sirens were activated around 9:00pm, and the Bourbonnais system wailed. A tornado spotted to the west was quickly approaching, and threatened Bourbonnais. After deactivation, the tornado threat was dropped. Until 9:45, when the sirens blared once again for a severe rotation spotted at North Kankakee County. This time... it was bad. Though it missed the Kankakee Area, unofficial... an F3/4 mile-wide (no joke, it was spotted as a mile-wide monster) tornado has struck the township of St. Anne.
The tornado report came to us as we huddled at a neighbors when they got a call from a friend that the fire department was active, and theirs siren blaring. The condition of the town is unknown. The tornado may still be going as we speak. The storm seems to have moved Eastward... tornado threats following swiftly. 
I deeply hope no one is dead. It seems there was damage done by another tornado up near the Wisconsin/Illinois border up North from Bourbonnais... Only the morning will show what has been released.
