Illinois

It's going to get hot late this week in both Missouri and Illinois. The only question at this point is exactly how hot. Near triple-digit temperatures are expected along with storms possible both Thursday and Friday this week.

What would you consider a whopper? I'm guessing by just about anyone's measure this would qualify. A man in Illinois just landed a humongous 109-pound big-head carp and it's real not a fish story.

If you consider yourself a sky watcher, you'll want to prepare for some epic viewing over Missouri and Illinois as 4 rare supermoons back-to-back-to-back-to-back will happen starting early in July.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens. Only kind of kidding as there is a real report of 3 lights forming a triangle that were captured by an amateur photographer near Pittsfield, Illinois recently.

Women don't get enough credit in my opinion. You always hear about successful men who have accomplished a lot with their career, but in this case it's a tip of the hat to the richest woman in Illinois who has managed to achieve a net worth that is 12 times that of even world famous actress Sandra Bullock.

There's a new story that serves as a warning to always have some idea of what might be waiting inside if you choose to investigate an abandoned place. An investigator went inside an old factory in Crestwood, Illinois, but learned it hid a terrible secret and a creature guarding it.

It's not weird to see birds in your Illinois backyard obviously. It would be unusual to NOT see birds. But, it's certainly not common to see an Albino robin and that's exactly what happened recently as a video share proves.

Common sense tells me that this is unnecessarily complicated. Did you know it's not 100% legal to collect rainwater in Illinois? No, you're not gonna get tackled by police for doing it, but the Land of Lincoln amazingly has regulations of what you can and can't do with rain.

I was always taught that turning left on red was a no-no. As it turns out, that is not always the case. There is one scenario where you can legally turn left on red in Illinois, but it's very specific.

Some stories are apparently not meant to be told or at least some authorities would prefer they not be. That's what happened when an Illinois couple encountered something terrifying in the woods. Before they could tell their story, the government apparently silenced them.
