Widespread Wind Damage and Elsah Tornado - June 28th, 2018

Overview

A line of severe thunderstorms initially developed over southeast Iowa on the morning of June 28th, 2018. A moist and unstable airmass out ahead of these storms allowed them to strengthen as they moved southeast, reaching peak intensity as they moved through portions of the northern and eastern St. Louis metro area and western Illinois. Significant and fairly widespread wind damage occurred from these storms Thursday afternoon into Thursday evening, with even a weak tornado hitting near Elsah, IL.

            A NWS Damage Survey Team surveyed multiple
            areas across southern Jersey County. The
            survey team did find one area of
            concentrated damage just northwest of Elsah
            which it determined was caused by a brief
            EF-0 tornado. The tornado touched down about
            one quarter mile SSW of the Green Acres Road
            and Elsah Road intersection where 3 pine
            trees were blown over. The tornado then
            removed part of the roof from an out
            building on the west side of Elsah Road.
            Portions of the roof were found blown across
            Elsah Road to the southeast. The tornado
            then crossed Lake Drive just west of Red Bud
            Court where it twisted a road sign 180
            degrees and snapped a number of trees near
            their base. The tornado continued southeast
            crossing Elsah Road near Joywood Drive where
            several trees were again snapped. The
