Hopefully the Chevette museum was untouched.

If it’s not sinkholes, it’s tornados.

If that's the same place that got zapped by a sinkhole a few years ago they should have a priest come out to exorcise it.

Agreed.

Stud like that is more along the lines of what we here in Tornado Alley (Okla.) experience. Doesn’t seem normal at all for it to happen in IL

That area is getting pounded by storms again today.

Why put irreplaceable artifacts in anything less than an indestructible building?

Well, the official Corvette Museum is in Bolling Green Ky. which did experience a sinkhole aboput 40 feet wide and 30 feet deep when a cave's roof collapsed in 2014 that swallowed up 8 corvettes.

Here's a video:

Corvette Museum Sinkhole reporting

They may call that onr in Illinois a museum, but it sounded to me that it was a corvette & Vw parts plant, with some corvettes in it. Still a shame though.

It is probably the museum tied in with Mid-America Corvette.

At least it wasn’t the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY - I pass it when traveling to see relatives in Ohio...never have stopped in tough - my memories of the Vettes on the streets in the 60s and 70s are enough.
My favorite was the ‘66 coupe with the 427 CI/425 HP mill....The maroon color, with the removable hardtop panels was my favorite

I should sadly add that the tornado NE of Mt. Vernon, IL was worse: It was an EF-3 that killed two elderly gals in separate locations, and injured 5 more people. :-(
