The latest line of severe thunderstorms lost intensity as it moved over South Central Illinois late Sunday night. Due to rotation in the upper clouds, the National Weather Service issued tornado warnings for Clinton, Washington, and parts of Fayette County. The storm was downgraded to a severe thunderstorm warning in Marion County, but it was later canceled due to continued weakening.
No major damage was reported, but there was considerable rain. 96-hundredths of an inch at the Centralia Water Plant and .53 at the Centralia Water Treatment Plant. One gate of Raccoon Lake is open three feet on Monday to get rid of excess water, causing some flooding along Brewery Hill Road.
Centralia City Firemen did respond to a tree limb that had fallen into an electric line near Gragg and Country Club Road knocking out power to that area on the northeast side of Centralia.
