GREENFIELD, Ill. – The Midwest was hit with yet another round of severe weather Thursday – the culmination of a week of dangerous weather that has moved across the region.

"That looks like some rotation," FOX Weather Meteorologist Jane Minar said as she watched Copic’s video while covering the storms.
"That definitely looks like something that’s pulling together," FOX Weather Meteorologist Kiyana Lewis added.
