It’s not just the wind, it’s a combination with the wetness of the soil from excessive rain - which further compromises the root systems when the extreme winds hit. Sorry to see this.

I am in Joliet Illinois and the storm was very intense. Lost power but it came on around 3am. No damage here like farther north of me. Very scary, I am recovering from a broken hip and I am very slow. Couldn't get to the basement so I sat in my bathtub. The only place I could get to. Condolences to everyone who have been hit harder than my area.

People are driving up to the tree not seeing it 😂😂😂 look further than 2 feet in front of your hood

Chicago and Houston have something in common

can’t believe this happened

People still think it's a good idea to go all electric!? Imagine going a week without heat if something like this were to happen in the winter. Natural gas lines are run underground.

Did all those tornadoes stop the violence for just one night??

6 tornadoes, wow! Luckily I was inside.

Man I was in Arizona when this went down. Im just glad my house was still intact when I got home.

That ain't nothing to play about

Windy city indeed.

How about listing the 30 areas that are being investigated for tornado damage? Would certainly help those of us from Illinois who no longer live there, just to get a handle on what communities were affected..

Maybe God is using wind instead of water this time. Hope all good people and animals are safe.

State of Emergency----Mr. Governor.  Can you handle this Mr. Governor?🤔

We need to wake up from our sleep. What's happening across the world is alarming! And it's not normal. But people are still not paying attentions and praying for God's mercy to falls through for mankind, because they are so preoccupied in the sphere of life. Then, they put God in their storage rooms somewhere. But there will be darker days ahead of us until we take the necessary steps to repent and turn our lives around to make it right with the most high God. 😔 ❤

Father in Heaven i ask You in Jesus Name for much strenght and restoration and comfort for those people who were affected by this storm and the family of the people that lost someone trough this storm . i ask in Jesus Name to restore the modern electricityproviders that provide electricity to the homes .🙍🏻‍♀️🥺😢🙏♥️

so THATS what happened was wondering because we all huddled in our bathroom and nothing happened that I saw

As long as attention gets diverted away from the thousands being deleted every month, that is all that is really important here, have to maintain the status quo,

So awesome

I like how this station and GMA like to misuse the word massive. I had a tree that would lose branches bigger than that "massive" and "enormous" tree😂 Now those trees in Will County are closer to being called massive. After taking a look at those trees in Will County, I'm not surprised that neighborhood looks like that. My tree looked the exact same way, and the last time a branch broke off, it made up a 1/3 of the size of the tree. It fell after the storm went through, and what caused it to eventually break off was the weight of the water on the leaves and the branches. Straight line wind can cause this. If the texas guy didn't want to deal with tornadoes, he needs to move either on the east coast, rock mountains, or west coast. Tornadoes aren't new here.

Crazy 0:24 wow 😂😢

16 torndoes in total

Oblock got hit?

Few scratches no way

Jesus is coming back can’t wait

Yall been bad

The video of the downed tree in the beginning is awful, move the camera back so we can see what's around the tree. The videography was awful, put the subject in context. All we saw was branches and leaves

С чем связана избирательность разрушений и ущерба в таких случаях. Случайность, или строгая закономерность?

My favorite headline I saw regarding this storm: "Possible tornadoes pretty much everywhere in Chicagoland." What a way to put it. 😂 Question for those from the Chicago area....is the term "Chicagoland" a regular term? If so, why? Never heard that in my life. 😂

Only time NBC tell the truth but not when it comes to geo politics

Geostorm! Seriously though, just ignore it like you do with climate change
