Well, 'extreme weather conditions' already occur in North America... from snow blizzards and below zero temps... to droughts and over 100 degree temps. Add to that tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding... North America has quite variable weather patterns and weather occurrences.
Yes, tornadoes can occur in Illinois. Illinois experiences an average of 54 tornadoes per year, making it one of the states with a higher tornado risk in the United States. Tornadoes can happen in any state given the right weather conditions.
No, a single tornado can not live that long. The weather system making tornadoes could stretch that far and make tornadoes in both states.
