It intensified as it reached County Rd 700E, uprooting large hardwood trees and lifting the roof off a single family residence. It continued east-southeast from there, crossing Interstate 57 where it flipped a semi, resulting in one injury. It then heavily damaged a few farm outbuildings and trees on the western outskirts of Charleston. It continued eastward through the north side of Charleston, causing damage at the fairgrounds, a few outbuildings, and trees throughout town before lifting 2 miles east of Charleston along Illinois 16. .Pawnee Tornado... Rating: EF0 Estimated Peak Wind: 85 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.72 miles Path Width /maximum/: 200 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/17/2026 Start Time: 06:48 PM CDT Start Location: 2 SSW Glenarm / Sangamon County / IL Start Lat/Lon: 39.6004 / -89.6694 End Date: 06/18/2026 End Time: 06:55 PM CDT End Location: 1 ESE Pawnee / Sangamon County / IL End Lat/Lon: 39.5884 / -89.565 Survey Summary: The tornado touched down about 1.5 miles west of Pawnee Junction near the I-55 exit, then traveled east across I-55 affecting Commanche Village and the town of Pawnee before dissipating 0.75 miles southeast of Pawnee. During its time on the ground it produced mainly EF0 tree damage, along with minor damage to home soffits and roofs. No injuries were reported. during its 5.7 mile path. .Effingham Tornado... Rating: EF3 Estimated Peak Wind: 150 mph Path Length /statute/: 26.18 miles Path Width /maximum/: 500 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 2 Start Date: 06/17/2026 Start Time: 07:56 PM CDT Start Location: 1 WNW Beecher City / Effingham County / IL Start Lat/Lon: 39.1904 / -88.7975 End Date: 06/17/2026 End Time: 08:28 PM CDT End Location: 4 NNE Dieterich / Jasper County / IL End Lat/Lon: 39.1111 / -88.3308 Survey Summary: Originating in Beecher City within Effingham County, the tornado first touched down along E State Highway 33. The storm's initial path spanned approximately one-quarter mile in width, resulting in EF0 and EF1 level damage. This impact was characterized by the snapping and uprooting of large trees, alongside sporadic damage to grain silos and farm out-buildings, with notable effects observed near N 300th St on the outskirts of Beecher City. Moving eastward through Shumway, the tornado crossed State Highway 32 and proceeded parallel to E 1800th Ave. Although the path width constricted to just over one-tenth of a mile, the storm intensified, producing EF-2 level damage. The increased strength resulted in hardwood and softwood tree trunks being snapped approximately two-thirds of the way up. Additionally, the tornado caused significant structural destruction, including the removal of a roof from a single-family home and the collapse of several farm outbuildings. Upon reaching the northern outskirts of rural Effingham, the tornado intensified to EF-3 status as it traveled along E 1800th Ave. During this stage, the storm produced peak wind speeds estimated at 145 mph, leading to severe tree damage and the total destruction of one single-family home, which suffered complete exterior wall collapses. Continuing its path along Effingham's northern perimeter, the EF-3 tornado maintained a width of one- tenth to one-quarter mile. Substantial structural damage occurred at a farmstead on E 1680th Ave, where several large outbuildings were demolished and a single-family home suffered a total roof uplift alongside partial exterior wall failure. Upon entering Effingham city limits and crossing US HWY 45, the storm destroyed a substantial metal building system after an X-brace failed on its eastern side. Nearby properties sustained further structural and severe tree damage, and the force of the winds threw a delivery van approximately 150 yards to the east. After departing Effingham, the tornado tracked southeastward and broadened to a width of approximately one-third of a mile. As the storm crossed Interstate 70, it inflicted major damage to trees and caused total roof uplift at multiple single- family homes. The tornado then proceeded across the northern and eastern parts of Teutopolis, where it caused extensive structural destruction to a farmstead located near the HWY 40 and N 1950th St intersection. Impacts at this location included the complete destruction of several large barns and outbuildings, as well as the total uplift of a single- residence roof. The tornadic storm maintained its EF-3 intensity as it moved eastward into rural Teutopolis, though its path narrowed to roughly one-tenth of a mile. Near the intersection of N 2100th St and E 1500th Ave, the storm produced peak wind speeds of 140 mph, resulting in the destruction of two single-family homes and significant damage to trees and outbuildings. Multiple non-life-threatening injuries were reported in this area. As the tornado moved across the Effingham-Jasper county line, it continued on a southeastward trajectory while weakening to EF-2 intensity. With estimated wind speeds of approximately 120 mph, the storm caused moderate damage to outbuildings and trees, along with minor structural impacts to single-family residences.The tornadic path eventually concluded as the storm lifted along N 200th St, just north of Island Grove. A special thanks is extended to Effingham County EMA for their assistance in supplying geo- referenced data for severely damaged buildings. We also wish to recognize the local agricultural community along E 1800th Ave in rural Effingham; their willingness to provide transportation was essential for navigating a section of the path obstructed by active utility restoration efforts. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the event and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ MJA

The storm's initial path spanned approximately one-quarter mile in width, resulting in EF0 and EF1 level damage. This impact was characterized by the snapping and uprooting of large trees, alongside sporadic damage to grain silos and farm out-buildings, with notable effects observed near N 300th St on the outskirts of Beecher City. Moving eastward through Shumway, the tornado crossed State Highway 32 and proceeded parallel to E 1800th Ave. Although the path width constricted to just over one-tenth of a mile, the storm intensified, producing EF-2 level damage. The increased strength resulted in hardwood and softwood tree trunks being snapped approximately two-thirds of the way up. Additionally, the tornado caused significant structural destruction, including the removal of a roof from a single-family home and the collapse of several farm outbuildings. Upon reaching the northern outskirts of rural Effingham, the tornado intensified to EF-3 status as it traveled along E 1800th Ave. During this stage, the storm produced peak wind speeds estimated at 145 mph, leading to severe tree damage and the total destruction of one single-family home, which suffered complete exterior wall collapses. Continuing its path along Effingham's northern perimeter, the EF-3 tornado maintained a width of one- tenth to one-quarter mile. Substantial structural damage occurred at a farmstead on E 1680th Ave, where several large outbuildings were demolished and a single-family home suffered a total roof uplift alongside partial exterior wall failure. Upon entering Effingham city limits and crossing US HWY 45, the storm destroyed a substantial metal building system after an X-brace failed on its eastern side. Nearby properties sustained further structural and severe tree damage, and the force of the winds threw a delivery van approximately 150 yards to the east. After departing Effingham, the tornado tracked southeastward and broadened to a width of approximately one-third of a mile. As the storm crossed Interstate 70, it inflicted major damage to trees and caused total roof uplift at multiple single- family homes. The tornado then proceeded across the northern and eastern parts of Teutopolis, where it caused extensive structural destruction to a farmstead located near the HWY 40 and N 1950th St intersection. Impacts at this location included the complete destruction of several large barns and outbuildings, as well as the total uplift of a single- residence roof. The tornadic storm maintained its EF-3 intensity as it moved eastward into rural Teutopolis, though its path narrowed to roughly one-tenth of a mile. Near the intersection of N 2100th St and E 1500th Ave, the storm produced peak wind speeds of 140 mph, resulting in the destruction of two single-family homes and significant damage to trees and outbuildings. Multiple non-life-threatening injuries were reported in this area. As the tornado moved across the Effingham-Jasper county line, it continued on a southeastward trajectory while weakening to EF-2 intensity. With estimated wind speeds of approximately 120 mph, the storm caused moderate damage to outbuildings and trees, along with minor structural impacts to single-family residences.The tornadic path eventually concluded as the storm lifted along N 200th St, just north of Island Grove. A special thanks is extended to Effingham County EMA for their assistance in supplying geo-referenced data for severely damaged buildings. We also wish to recognize the local agricultural community along E 1800th Ave in rural Effingham; their willingness to provide transportation was essential for navigating a section of the path obstructed by active utility restoration efforts. .Grove Township Tornado... Rating: EF1 Estimated Peak Wind: 110 mph Path Length /statute/: 5.23 miles Path Width /maximum/: 175 yards Fatalities: 0 Injuries: 0 Start Date: 06/17/2026 Start Time: 08:27 PM CDT Start Location: 4 N Wheeler / Jasper County / IL Start Lat/Lon: 39.1082 / -88.3182 End Date: 06/17/2026 End Time: 08:34 PM CDT End Location: 4 WSW Rose Hill / Jasper County / IL End Lat/Lon: 39.098 / -88.223 Survey Summary: The tornado in Effingham County covered a 26.2-mile path, crossing the border into Jasper County and occluding near Island Grove. After a brief cycling phase, a second tornado formed upstream in the rural Grove Township area of Jasper County. This subsequent tornado originated near N 300th St, where it caused major roof damage to a two-story house, rolled an SUV, damaged an outbuilding, and snapped several large hardwood trees. Moving southeast toward E 1700th Ave, the storm snapped the top of another large hardwood and stripped shingles from a single-story residence, with further tree damage reported just north of that location. East of N 700th St, more tree damage occurred alongside shingle damage to a mobile home. As the tornado tracked further along E 1700th Ave, it damaged another outbuilding and additional trees before finally lifting approximately 0.25 miles east of N 800th St. && EF Scale: The Enhanced Fujita Scale classifies tornadoes into the following categories: EF0.....65 to 85 mph EF1.....86 to 110 mph EF2.....111 to 135 mph EF3.....136 to 165 mph EF4.....166 to 200 mph EF5.....>200 mph NOTE: The information in this statement is preliminary and subject to change pending final review of the events and publication in NWS Storm Data. $$ NWS ILX
