The initial reports are of an EF-4 rating on that storm. If you look at images coming out of the region, you will see complete devastation with no buildings left for blocks upon blocks. There have been noted unofficially 40-68 tornadoes on the day so far. Later reports will firm that number up. The tornadoes spread across Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Southeast Missouri. Damaging winds were also a huge issue yesterday with winds in the 70-80mph range across Illinois and in the 80-85mph range for both Indiana and Ohio.
