On June 16, 2010 Celescina Observatory in Paw Paw, Illinois received minor damage due to tornadic winds and rains. A large tree limb from a nearby Norway maple tree came crashing down, knocking out the outrigger
rails to the observatory and skimmed the main structure, resulting in minor damage to siding.
