Within a four-hour window, I witnessed a total of 8 tornadoes, some at extremely close range.
The day started off with some doubt as to what I’d see. After meeting up with friend and chaser @AndrewPritchard for lunch, the two of us parked our vehicles near an organizing supercell near Peoria, IL. Within minutes, we were individually racing off to surround the storm as a massive wedge formed almost instantly. From that moment on, one of the most surreal and intense chases I’ve ever been on unfolded as tornado after tornado tore through the countryside. After eight tornadoes, the chase ended when I drove into a neighborhood that had been damaged near the town Hebron, Indiana. Amazingly, the four individuals within the home I ran up to were unharmed.Historic Tornado Outbreak: Illinois - Indiana (Abbreviated Edit)Gabe Cox | StormReel2026-06-12 | Quick edit showing some of the intense moments while documenting 8 tornadoes in northern Illinois into Indiana on June 11, 2026.

When Gabe's car slides off the road near a mile-wide tornado, he's stuck in a flooded ditch having last seen the now rain-wrapped tornado coming straight for him. The only thing he can do is make a goodbye video to his family and take cover in the car.
In this episode, the team becomes transparent about the mistakes that landed them in a terrifying situation where Jeff and Gabe become separated as multiple tornadoes threatened their lives. This cautionary tale serves as an example of how personal motives can deeply effect the outcome of a chase.
