Strong storms Friday night triggered thunderstorm and tornado warnings.
10. O'Hare to Des Plaines: EF-0A huge clean-up effort is still underway in communities where the tornadoes touched down, including Elgin and Countryside.
"There was so many trees across... there was two places you couldn't even get down, so today, like, I don't think we have a lot," Elgin resident Margo Rodriguez said. "We have a lot of busy work around the yard to do but we're really pretty caught up on everything." Two trees missed their home by an inch, and with the exception of some torn siding the family is thankful there is minimal damage.Close to 70 homes received minimal damage. Only one home had its roof blown off and was deemed uninhabitable.
Meanwhile Elgin's Mayor spoke with members of the Del Webb community, where at least 20 homes were hit - some now uninhabitable.
