Taylorville, IL -(Effingham Radio)- Unless you live or work in Taylorville, don’t head into town.
The small city about a half-hour southeast of Springfield is essentially closed to outsiders after a tornado cut through town on Saturday.
Nearly 100 homes are damaged and 21 people were hurt.
Taylorville Mayor Bruce Barry says there’s a lot of work to do over the next few weeks and months; he doesn’t want people to come and sight-see the damage.
