Storms

Summer storms continue to take their toll on Illinois. One part of the state recorded over 500 lightning strikes which may have been responsible for a church that caught fire.

The weekend weather in Missouri was not dull. After storms brought strong winds through much of the state on Saturday, Sunday included more storm clouds that also released a brilliant double rainbow for all to behold.

Normally, being #1 at something is a good thing. That's not true in this case. Surprisingly, Illinois has become the tornado capital of America and the numbers so far in 2023 prove that point.

I will admit that I don't know much about lightning other than I'd prefer to not get struck by any. But, even I know when a video about lightning is captivating and that's definitely the case for upward lightning that was recently captured as it climbed into the sky over St. Louis, Missouri.

This would be the one time when you wouldn't want to be at the top of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis. Brand new video shows a lightning strike that lit up the iconic monument.

Who doesn't love lightning puns? That's why I'll gladly share the shocking news that Missouri has a new lightning capital according to new data that measures the fire that comes from the sky.

There have been very few weather days quite like what transpired on March 31, 2023. Among the more than 100 confirmed tornadoes was a monster wedge in Keota, Iowa that storm chasers got up-close-and-personal with.

This was quite a shock - literally. A new video share from Friday's severe storms that blew through the Midwest shows double lightning bolts slamming 600 million volts into Illinois power lines.

The Hannibal and Quincy area has been fortunate to not experience the kind of tornado like the one that destroyed much of Joplin in 2011. However, there is a deep history of devasting twisters that have caused incredible amounts of damage in the tri-state area. Here are the 9 most destructive tornadoes over the past 150 years.

What's worse than lightning striking a home? When a bolt strikes with all of the family members still inside which is what happened to a Kansas City, Missouri home. A new share of video from their neighbor's security camera shows the moment it happened.
