CHICAGO (AP) – The National Weather Service says showers and thunderstorms that dumped heavy rainfall across the Chicago area, swamping streets with floodwaters that knocked out power to the 110-story Willis Tower, also produced two possible tornadoes.
The weather service in Chicago says weather spotters reported that one tornado touched down Sunday evening south of Sandwich in far northeast LaSalle County, and a second struck near Braidwood, along the Grundy County and Will County line, Forecasters said no damage was reported from either storm.
The weather service in Lincoln said another tornado briefly touched down Sunday near Macon in central Illinois, damaging some trees.
