10/31/2013 Stonefort, IL overnight Tornado Aftermath B-Roll

New footage in from the tornado damage in Stonefort, IL from Tony Laubach.

Severe storms and tornadoes move through the Mississippi Valley region after dark on Halloween leaving a lot tricks behind.

A line of storms developed in Missouri and pushed across the river into southern Illinois prompting tornado warnings as several reports of tornadoes from a storm that moved across Williamson and Saline Counties. This storm clipped the small town of Stonefort, Illinois doing minor damage to the extreme southwest part of the town as it moved east.

Damage was mostly limited to a few homes with partial roof removals, a tipped over shed, and numerous large trees blocking roads. US-45 was closed for about 30 minutes after the storm as crews quickly removed tree debris from the highway. Crews were able to clear most of the roads within an hour of the storm. No injuries or fatalities were reported in Stonefort.
