Don and Judy White hold pictures of their destroyed Ogden home, while stainding in front of their new residence.
On April 19, 1996, 33 tornadoes occurred in Illinois, the most ever to occur in one day. One storm that erupted in western Illinois marched across the state, dropping funnel clouds near Monticello and Urbana before slamming into Ogden as an F-3 tornado with 170 mph winds. The tornado consumed nearly 80 percent of ogden and left one 55-year-old grandmother dead in a field near the interstate.
