Tornado and Storms Blow Through Chicago Area
Tornado spotted and warnings all over the Chicago area, August
4, 2008. Over 200,000 people lost power, as reported by Comm Ed,
from the high winds and very strong thunderstorms and flooding,
while a tornado reportedly touched down 15 miles outside of
Chicago. Millions take cover from winds of 50 to up to 75 miles per
hour and very dangerous thunderstorms. Trees down and high water in
streets are causing major traffic delays, especially as fans leave
the packed Cubs Game at Wrigley Field. As the sun rises, light
shines on the severe damage through Northern Illinois and into
Indiana.
