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.
