The April 19, 1996 tornado was one of dozens of tornadoes that cut across Illinois on a single day. David Proeber It’s been 25 years, but time has done little to diminish the memories of the back–to-back tornadoes that struck Macon County in 1996. “Once you go through something like this, you never forget,” said Kelly Miller, whose home was leveled by the tornado that hit Macon County on April 19, 1996. The community was already recovering from a tornado that hit the south end of Decatur the night before. Miller’s family sought shelter inside their home along Wyckles Road with Lonnie McVeigh, a storm spotter they didn’t know who, like them, was seeking a safe refuge from which to ride out the storm. McVeigh was injured when the chimney fell on him in the Millers basement.
