On 9/12/19, I returned back to my apartment from my classes at around 1:50 PM. I noticed my weather radios had gone off for a tornado warning for Rochelle, IL and I figured that DeKalb would be next to be hit. So, I set up my cameras and waited for the storm to come. Around 3:00 PM, the national weather service issued a severe thunderstorm warning, catching me off guard. Shortly afterward, the storm began to intensify and before I knew it at 3:33 PM, a tornado warning was issued for DeKalb! Shortly after, DeKalb fire dispatch activated all the 2001s in the city, and let them run a full 10 minutes. It was pouring rain when they went off hence why I didn't go set up a camera in my parking lot where you could see a DC round back and instead opted for an ambiance instead. At some point, I did run outside with one of my cameras to see the round back which I included in this video at 8:38. I got very lucky this time around and the tornadic storm ended up passing to the south. According to a rumor, a funnel cloud was spotted over Hinkley, but that was about all that happened in this storm. Thank you for watching and I hope you enjoy the video!
