Illinois is hit by MORE tornadoes as twisters and 115mph winds rip roof off a gas station

Illinois was struck by another round of tornados on Tuesday evening, the latest in a string of destructive severe weather to rock the Midwest in the past week.

Numerous tornados were spotted across the state, including in the towns of Lewistown, Vermont, and Table Grove in the central part of the state around 8pm local time.

Illinois residents had been warned by weather services that tornados could accompany the severe weather predicted to envelop the state in the afternoon and into the night.

The storms also brought severe hail, with some residents reporting pieces of ice the size of baseballs falling from the skies. It remains unclear if anybody was injured in today's storms.

Numerous videos from Illinois showed towering tornados tearing across the landscape, lightening flashing and debris getting tossed up into the vortexes. In the city of Colona, the roof of a gas station was torn off after a 115mph tornado touched down for barely more than a minute Tuesday morning.

Nearly 70million Americans braced for another round of powerful storms Tuesday as weather centers warned another round of severe storms were descending on the country from Texas to Michigan. 

Today's storms followed days of severe storms and tornados that ripped through 11 states across the south and Midwest, leaving at least 32 dead in the path of destruction.

As citizens in those areas continued to survey the damage, this latest system delivered much the same conditions that had already ravaged the region. The severe weather is expected to continue through the night.

'This could be a night to just set up down in the basement to be safe,' said meteorologist Tom Philip, according to CBS News. 

The first states in the storm's path were in the Central US, and included Iowa, Illinois and much of northeastern Missouri - all already affected by the swath of storms seen on Friday.

'Strong, potentially long track tornadoes are possible, in addition to large hail and damaging winds,' Storm Prediction Center forecasters warned Tuesday morning, issuing Level 4 of 5 threat levels in the aforementioned states.

 'Many of the areas that got hammered by the last severe weather outlook could be at risk again, so it's imperative that everyone in this region closely monitor the latest local forecasts,' The Weather Prediction Center added.

'Be prepared to take cover if warnings are issued,' the agency said, forecasting 135mph winds and potentially hail as soon as 2pm. 

'A conditional tornado threat will also persist overnight with any sustained supercells,' the storm center added, before detailing the threat of the potentially more deadly night storms, that could strike Arkansas and Missouri as citizens sleep.

'Any nocturnal supercells will be capable of all severe hazards, and the concern remains regarding the potential for nocturnal strong tornadoes from near the Arkansas-Louisiana-Texas region into parts of southern Missouri.

Those 'nocturnal strong tornadoes,' the storm center said, could be deadly than their counter parts in the daytime, due to citizens being less likely to receive weather alerts and learn of developing conditions while they are asleep. 

'Please remain weather aware, have multiple ways to receive warnings & stay tuned to the forecast for updates,' officials in Missouri warned.

The damaging weather will likely bring tornadoes to states already stricken over the weekend like Illinois. Debris is seen in the village of Palestine on Sunday, as the cleanup continues

There was also severe damage in Little Rock, Arkansas - which is also expected to be hit by the similar system on Tuesday. Tornadoes spurred Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders to declare a state of emergency and activated the National Guard after five in her state were killed

Jon Green, a Supervisor for Johnson County in Iowa - parts of which were slammed by the near-identical weather system just days ago - added: 'The danger of a rain-shrouded tornado in the dark is significantly higher than it is during the daytime hours, when everybody's out and about, paying attention.'

At least 50 confirmed tornadoes touched down in Missouri, Iowa, and Illinois in the past days, as well as others like Tennessee, southern Georgia, southern Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

The weather ripped through hundreds of homes as they barreled through the regions, rending many domiciles 'inhabitable.'

Affecting 11 states in total, the twisters damaged homes and businesses, splintered trees and laid waste to neighborhoods - and the cleanup still continues as of Tuesday. 

Among the five dead in Indiana are Brett Kincaid, 53, and Wendy Kincaid, 47, from Rossville, Indiana, whose bodies were found at the McCormick's Creek State Park campground, where they had been camping, according to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Thirteen deaths were reported in Tennessee, where an EF2 tornado shredded through multiple counties, according to the National Weather field office in Nashville. 

The dead also included at least nine in one Tennessee county and four in Illinois. Other deaths from the storms that hit Friday night into Saturday were reported in Alabama and Mississippi.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker on Sunday traveled to Belvidere to visit the Apollo Theatre, which partially collapsed as around 260 people were attending a heavy metal concert during the severe weather. A 50-year-old man was rescued from the rubble and later died.

The governor said 48 others were treated in hospitals, with five in critical condition. 

WTHR reported that Brett and Wendy Kincaid were killed in their camper Friday night when the storm hit McCormick's Creek State Park campground in Owen County.

Their bodies were located on Saturday, according to Indiana conservation officers, who said the storms devastated the area. They also noted that the campground, which remains closed, was particularly affected. 

Governor Pritzker planned to travel later to Crawford County, around 230 miles south of Chicago, where three people were killed and eight were injured as a tornado hit around New Hebron.

'We've had emergency crews digging people out of their basements because the house is collapsed on top of them, but luckily they had that safe space to go to,' Sheriff Bill Rutan said at a news conference.

That tornado was not far from where three people died in Indiana's Sullivan County, around 95 miles southwest of Indianapolis.

Like the last round of storms, most at risk Tuesday are more rural communities, countless of which are set directly in the system's path.

Tennessee, one of the hardest-hit states since the storms began on Friday, initially had seven weather-related deaths. 

However, the toll rose to 12 after police reported three new deaths Sunday, noting that two children and an adult were killed on Saturday when a tree fell on a house in Memphis.

The Tennessee tornado twisted trees, flattened homes and ripped walls from buildings.

'The whole house, you can feel it shaking,' said Janice Pieterick, whose doors and glass windows blew out when the tornado swept through Lewis County.

She added: 'We just all hunkered down.'

Tennessee officials warned that the same weather conditions from Friday night are expected to return Tuesday. 

The storms struck just hours after President Joe Biden visited Rolling Fork, Mississippi, where tornadoes last week destroyed parts of town.

In a statement on Sunday, Biden said: 'We are working closely with the state of Indiana and other impacted states as they assess damages, and stand ready to respond to any additional requests for Federal assistance.'
