Let us never forget: On May 29, 1982, a deadly F4 tornado carved a 17-mile long path across Williamson County, Illinois. On the ground for nearly 30 minutes, the tornado claimed ten lives in Marion, injured 181 citizens, left nearly 1,000 persons homeless, and 85 to 100 million dollars in damage in its path.
