Hey, I hope it's not too much to ask, but can you get the Grazulis pages for the North Chicago tornado of September 26, 1972, and the one in Downtown Chicago some time in 1876? And if it's not too much of a chore, the ones for Crystal Lake (April 1965, F4) and Lake Zurich (April 1967, F4)? I need it for a draft I'm working on. Thank you!

:::COOK -- "Rebounding like a bombshell," the tornado moved NE, ripping apart and collapsing both large and small buildings in downtown Chicago. Damage totalled about $250,000. One man died in the destruction of the Reaper Mission. The chimney of a candy factory was blown down, injuring workers, one of whom eventually died. At a county hospital (at 18th and Arnold) the roof and cupola were torn off, but the "terror- stricken" patients inside were unharmed. A freight depot collapsed, trapping and mangling the men inside. A church steeple and many brick chimneys were blown down. The Chicago Tribune printed a description of the multiple vortex structure of the tornado as it moved out onto Lake Michigan. The astute observation and conclusion (by a newspaper reporter) that air in the center of the multiple vortex tornado was moving downward was nearly a century ahead of its time. About a mile from shore "it was then composed of eight or ten columns grouped together, all whirling around a central point. The columns, or spirals, twisted and writhed like snakes. The group was about 500 feet in diameter, the various parts leaning at the top towards the centre, and bulging slightly at the middle. Now and then a column would draw away from its fellow and then sweep back. The down rush of air in the vacuum drew the cloud down. Directly under the mass the lake was flat and still. Around it the waters were lashed and torn. The waves dashed upon the spirals as if driven to madness by the attack. As the pillars curled around, binding themselves together, the cloud vomited lightning, as though sick of the performance. Another such scene may never come in this generation, and it is to be regretted that the cylinder could not have been caught and pickled for scientific investigation."

There was a $100,000 loss at the state hospital. Further to the NE, the tornado grew very intense and destroyed or damaged 500 homes. Homes were leveled at Barrington Hills, and a 1000- pound heating unit was carried a half mile from a home. A dozen cars were "thrown like toys" near the Hwy-22 and 59 intersection. $10,000,000.

Just my opinion. wizzito | say hello! 16:01, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

::::::::Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Andrew5/Archive#23_December_2024 gave an exact location; that IP is at an arcade in Long Island and Whois proves that. I will stop speculation and wait to see what happens before I go to SPI next. wizzito | say hello! 16:04, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

::::No, that's fine (public IPs are public). I'm concerned that we are guessing places where he will be ({{tq|two college-related events of note that Andrew may be going to today}}) which seems like stalking to me.

Odd question. On my online copy of the Significant Tornadoes: A chronology of events Volume 2 of Significant Tornadoes: 1880-1989 published in 1990 (this is the tornado book), there's a disclaimer on page three that notes "all written material herein is in the public domain". Hypothetically, if all the images in the book are blacked out, would the entire book be able to be transferred to WikiSource? I know nothing about it, so asking you. — E_F⁵ 19:59, 11 April 2025 (UTC)

Hey, when you get a chance, could you get me a few more refs for my draft? I'm specifically looking for the following.

• F3 and F4 tornadoes in Cook County from the March 28, 1920 Palm Sunday outbreak in Illinois,
• 1781 Chicago Portage tornado that Grazulis might record,
• May 22, 1855 Des Plaines, Illinois tornado (may be marked as Jefferson, Illinois, see Draft:Tornadoes in Chicago#1855 (Jefferson/Des Plaines)),
• April 7, 1948 tornado in Northwest Indiana,
• June 13, 1976 Lemont, Illinois F4 tornado,
• April 21, 1967 Oak Lawn F4 tornado,
• March 12, 1976 F3 tornado in DuPage and Cook County.

I could probably get by without these but they'd make getting the article in ship-shape a lot quicker. Thanks! Departure– (talk) 15:09, 8 April 2025 (UTC)

The worst destruction was on the highest ground, the Canfield-on-the-Hill section of Edison Park. In all, six homes were destroyed and 30 others were said to be beyond repair. $100,000.

:::::As it turns out that the old Significant Tornadoes book includes most of the tornadoes I'm looking for, I don't need the references for most stated above; however, there are still a few outside of the 1990's book range I'd like the citations for:

:::::* 1781 (Chicago portage), may or may not be recorded

:::::* May 22, 1855

:::::* June 3, 1860

:::::* May 23, 1878

:::::* November 17, 2013 (both in Will County)

:::::* June 20, 2021

Alright, so I completely forgot to re-inquire about the Grazulis books, but if you could, I'd just like the references for the three tornadoes near Chicago for the article preferably. The three were 1781 (Chicago Portage, again, might not be recorded by Grazulis), May 22, 1855 (Jefferson / Des Plaines, Illinois), and June 3, 1860 (throughout the Chicago metro).
