Last week saw a rare tornado outbreak in parts of central Illinois and an upcoming program through the University of Illinois Extension offers a glimpse at if we're seeing an increase in tornado activity.

Terri Miller-Casey is the Director of the U of I Extension in Logan, Menard, and Sangamon Counties believes this program in February will offer great insight into the history of severe weather in the midwest.

Get more information by visiting extension.illinois.edu. Miller-Casey indicates like so many of the programs through Extension, if you cannot make it for that class, just check out the website to watch it back at your convenience.
