(Undated) – The first anniversary of the “Robinson-Sullivan” tornado is fast approaching and the National Weather Service has released some updated information. According to the National Weather Service, in November of 2023, a couple of “weather enthusiasts” alerted their office that there was possible damage that the survey team might have missed in April. They say as a result of submitted photos and drone footage provided by “weather enthusiasts,” residents, and the Crawford County EMA, they have determined that the Illinois portion of the “Robinson-Sullivan” tornado was correctly rated as an EF-3. However, the wind speed was increased to 165 mph and the width was increased to .66 miles. In addition, the track of the tornado was changed and a new map was created with many additional points. To review the updated map and additional survey information follow the links below.
