Yes. Illinois tornadoes are not uncommon in Illinois. The state has had a number of very destructive tornadoes. Most of the damage and deaths from the Tri-State tornado, the worst tornado in United States history, ocurred in Illinois.

Most occur in April, May, and June.

Many people believed that an F6 tornado should be added on the Fujita scale but 318 or over mph winds was never recorded and winds were believed too high for tornadoes to reach unlike the may 3rd outbreak that of the Oklahoma city tornado experienced 302 mph winds in 1999. Even then, tornado ratings are based on damage rather than wind speed.

A tornado in 1971 at Kin Kin, in Queensland claimed three lives. In spite of what many people seem to think, tornadoes DO occur in Australia, around 20 per year on average.
