Tornado Tears Through Effingham County
Description
A devastating tornado tore through Effingham County last Wednesday, packing winds up to 150 mph and leaving a 26-mile trail of destruction. Starting as an EF0 near Beacher City, it rapidly intensified to EF3 as it ripped through rural areas, destroying homes, snapping massive trees, and tossing a delivery van 150 yards. The storm’s path took it across Interstate 70 and into Teutopolis, where it broadened and caused catastrophic farm damage before weakening to EF2 near the county line. Though no lives were lost, several injuries were reported, and local emergency responders and farmers stepped up to assess the damage — earning praise from the National Weather Service.
