05/20/2025                   Livingston         IL   Storm Chaser



            A storm chaser shared video footage of a

            rotating condensation funnel and possible

            brief tornado near Reading. From the video,

            it was not conclusive whether the funnel was

            in contact with the ground behind a tree

            line. No damage was reported in the vicinity

            of where the funnel was observed.
