@xtreme_hurricanes162647: 11 years ago today, a powerful EF4 tornado impacted the town of Rochelle Illinois. This tornados rating is controversial because it was rated EF4 200mph, just 1 mph short of the #ef5 rating. Also, the tornados final rating came out very fast, making people question how correctly it was done. Rip to the two fatalities that resulted from this tornado @beau..roberts @WhirlMedia 🌪️ @🌪️RT. EDITS ^🌪️ @Idk
The tornado changed path about 1/8th of a mile before hitting my neighborhood. I remember it like it was yesterday. I shot video and showed it with the Rockford news station.

I live in Byron, 20 miles from Rochelle (in the same county). We were in our basement for at least an hour while the tornado sirens continuously went off, and a local tv meteorologist said “if you are not below ground, you will lose your life”. 😩 Scariest night of my life, and we’ll never forget. 🥺

I was on 88 helping a young lady with her car, I watched it form, told her to stay safe and hauled ass to the dixon exit. I passed 2 state cops on 38 trying to get to Rochelle (my home town),when I arrived it was already hitting grubsteakers. it was total devastation the likes of which I can only compare to the aftermath of a fire fight. (im a combat veteran). it was something ill never forget. especially the way the community came together to rebuild their neighbors lives.
