More Twisters

On the evening of Sunday, April 3, up to 9 twisters struck 4 counties across central Illinois. The towns of Lincoln, Greenview, Niantic, and Taylorville were hard hit. Over 150,000 homes had no power overnight. Springfield had 2,100 outages, nearly all restored by Monday morning.

Suzanne Lee Boyd reports that the April 3 storms followed the path of those on March 12. Heavy damage occurred in Sherwood, Westchester, and Riverton. No lives were lost, thanks to early warnings. Suzi says, "Since we just lived through a blizzard also on a Sunday night, we're all becoming paranoid about Sunday nights."
