Tornado sweeps through suburban Chicago, causing damage

CHICAGO (AP) — Officials say a radar-confirmed tornado swept through suburban Chicago, damaging homes, toppling trees, knocking out power and causing some injuries. A report to the National Weather Service says a least four injuries were reported in Naperville, where a dozen homes were damaged and numerous large trees were downed by a probable tornado late Sunday. Officials in the nearby village of Woodridge said a tornado touched down late Sunday. There were no reports of significant injuries in the community. The threat for wind damage remained for a few hours as the line of storms moved over northern Illinois and into northwestern Indiana, and the severe threat was declared over at 2 a.m. local time. Severe thunderstorms also brought gusting winds and drenching rains to parts of Michigan.
