According to preliminary assessments, at least five tornadoes were confirmed to have hit the area during Monday’s severe weather outbreak, as a derecho brought damaging straight-line winds and “dozens of circulations” to the Chicago area.
One of those tornadoes touched down on Chicago’s Near West Side and pushed toward the western portion of the Loop before lifting back into the clouds, officials said. The tornado was classified as an EF-1, which means it had estimated wind speeds of up to 110 miles per hour.

It’s not just the wind, it’s a combination with the wetness of the soil from excessive rain - which further compromises the root systems when the extreme winds hit. Sorry to see this.

Maybe God is using wind instead of water this time. Hope all good people and animals are safe.

I like how this station and GMA like to misuse the word massive. I had a tree that would lose branches bigger than that "massive" and "enormous" tree😂 Now those trees in Will County are closer to being called massive. After taking a look at those trees in Will County, I'm not surprised that neighborhood looks like that. My tree looked the exact same way, and the last time a branch broke off, it made up a 1/3 of the size of the tree. It fell after the storm went through, and what caused it to eventually break off was the weight of the water on the leaves and the branches. Straight line wind can cause this. If the texas guy didn't want to deal with tornadoes, he needs to move either on the east coast, rock mountains, or west coast. Tornadoes aren't new here.
