Illinois Tornado

I came home from work one day, I live near St. Louis. When I got home with kids I saw it get very ominous looking to the west. A tornado warning was eventually given out for our county, and as I was doing laundry my son spotted a funnel cloud outside. I came up to see, and sure enough there was a funnel cloud outside, and it touched down about half a mile away. We went down into basement, came out 15 minutes later and saw no damage, but it was really scary, even for me.
