People are going to assume that the thread is about the far more famous Apollo Theater in NYC. Might want to clarify it isn't in the thread title somehow.
Still a horrific thing to see.

This, along with the corresponding storms here (I live about 45 minutes to an hour from Belvidere) are why I only saw about the first 10 minutes of Smackdown last night. News coverage went for most of the night. It was a rough storm. Luckily, we only got heavy rain and some wind by us.

Reading the responses to tweets reporting on this ruined my morning.

I wonder if the weather causing this tornado is the same reason there's a 20+ cm blizzard outside right now

I've been through that town, as it is only about two hours from me and my heart goes out to them.
I tell you, those storms were no joke. I got off lucky that it was only rain and some winds at my house, but about 14 miles from me there was a tornado touchdown and some funnel clouds were forming too close for my comfort.

I upgraded my phone a little over a year and a half ago, and this was the first time I had one with the capability to send me warning alerts. it played an alarm nonstop and nearly sent me into an panic attack because I didn't know how to stop it, and it was really still outside, so we went to the basement for awhile. The worst of the storm thankfully passed us by, but yeah the weatherpeople were nervous too and even interrupted their own broadcast so THEY could take shelter because it was heading their direction too.

Yeah, been bad the past couple of days here. If it's 70 degrees, you're getting hellacious rains, powerful storms.
It's sunny, then it's 40 degrees and winds out of the west at 40 mph, so it feels like 15.
