On April 21st, at about 3:50 PM 1967 in Belvidere, Illinois, a deadly F4 tornado passed through the town. This storm passed through at a time when many children were boarding buses to leave school. There was hardly a warning for any of these people who were suddenly caught in a violent, and deadly conflict with a titan of nature.
This tornado was part of the system that spawned the Oak Lawn tornado, and Lake Zurich tornado. This system spawned a total of 45 tornadoes that killed 58 people in Illinois. Multiple memorials have been erected to memorialize this terrible day.
