At least two tornadoes touched down in the Chicago suburbs during the severe storms that rolled across the region on Monday, National Weather Service survey crews said on Tuesday.
As of 3 p.m., survey crews confirmed the following two tornadoes touched down during the storms:
An EF-1 tornado in Lansing An EF-0 tornado in Glen EllynThe tornado that touched down in Lansing had peak winds around 110 mph and lifted just east of the state line near Munster, Indiana, according to NWS. Winds in the tornado that struck Glen Ellyn peaked near 80 mph.
Crews also confirmed straight line winds with gusts over 70 mph hit Carol Stream and Downers Grove in DuPage County.
Survey teams are continuing to do assessments of “some of the hardest hit areas,” according to NWS.
Crews are looking at damage in Glenwood, Hazel Crest, Homewood, Markham, and Orland Park.
“We’ll admit there’s a lot to decipher particularly near Hazel Crest (rotation path did a loop) so it may be some time before that survey is complete. Regardless, we hope to have results from those surveys soon,” NWS said in a statement.
NWS said earlier on Tuesday that Monday’s severe thunderstorms resulted in “several probable tornado paths” along with “significant” straight line wind damage, large hail and flash flooding.
Though not confirmed by NWS as of 3 p.m. on Tuesday, a report of a possible tornado in Orland Park was generated at approximately 12:50 p.m. on Monday, though there were no immediate reports of damage.
Parts of DuPage, Cook and Will counties in Illinois, as well as in Lake and Porter counties in Indiana, were all under tornado warnings on Monday amid the severe weather outbreak, with strong rotation detected within multiple severe weather cells, according to the NBC 5 Storm Team.
The storms also cut power for nearly 400,000 ComEd customers, with households in DuPage and Cook counties being hit hardest by the outages and more than 140,000 still without power as of Tuesday afternoon.
