This is a location in east central Randolph County in Illinois.  These photos were taken at a golf course near Percy, Il.  Numerous twisted tree tops and the orientation of fallen trees and debris point to a tornado rather than straight line winds.  The severity of the damage put this tornado in the F0/F1 category.
