There is no official beginning or end to tornado season anywhere, but for Illinois it can generally said to end in mid June. Tornadoes do occur outside of the normal season, just less frequently. One of the most notable examples came on August 28, 1990 when an F5 tornado hit Plainfield, a suburb of Chicago, killing 29 people.
