A line of intense storms that formed the day before across the southern Plains pushed across Missouri into parts of southern IL and western Kentucky, prompting numerous severe thunderstorm warnings as high winds and small hail marched across the region. The storms left behind some scattered reports of damage as well as flooded streets in their wake as over an inch of rain fell in less than 30 minutes in some of the heavier storms.
Video package shot in and around Harrisburg, Illinois in Saline County during the late afternoon hours as the line of storms intensified over the area and moved northeast toward Evansville, Indiana.
