| June 2010 | Tornado (EF0) | Altmar | - | Spotters and chasers witnessed a brief secondary tornado near Streator, in a field just south of Illinois Route 18, between County Roads 14 and 15, about 1/2 mile north of the main Streator tornado track. They observed a brief dust whirl on the ground beneath the funnel cloud, but it was over an open field and there was no damage. |
