Powerful Tornado Rips Through Rochelle [VIDEO]

A home video shows the terrifying moments when a powerful tornado moves through Rochelle.

My husband is laughing at me. The sirens here in Lake Geneva are going off, my phone is getting text alerts to take shelter and I'm hunkered down in the basement. I ask if they're coming and Ben says, "the Direct TV is still connected, I think we're fine." So, I grabbed the dog and here were are.

As I was checking in on all of you on Facebook I came across a video from Stephanie Curtis. Curtis captured powerful footage of a tornado that was moving through what appeared to be a subdivision of Rochelle. She's braver than I am.

I'm sure over the next several hours we'll hear more about that damage that tornado left behind. Thoughts and prayers for those in Rochelle tonight.

Be safe.
