Crews are investigating reports of tornadoes in or around Sugar Grove, Oswego and Campton Hills, officials said.
This North Aurora house on Kingswood Drive had tree limbs fall on it and two vehicles out front due to Monday night’s storm. The National Weather Service is investigating multiple sites near Aurora where tornadoes may have touched down during Monday night’s severe storm, a spokesperson said on Tuesday afternoon.
While tornadoes have not been confirmed in the area as of Tuesday at around 1 p.m., local authorities have reported damage at those Aurora area sites and others. Dave Ahamnos, a resident of Meadows Drive, said his house fared better than those of his neighbors. Most of the damage to his house was limited to the lifted shingles on his roof, and for that, he said he was grateful.
While only some of the houses had roof damage, nearly all houses on Meadows Drive and Bastian Drive had fallen limbs, trees or both. Ahamnos said many nearby cars had been hit by some of those limbs. In North Aurora, damage was primarily contained to the area south of Oak Street from Route 31 to Randall Road, to the west of the Fox River and north of I-88, according to North Aurora Public Works Director Brian Richter.
At the corner of Fuller and Douglas streets in Oswego, Monday night’s storm took the tops off of trees and knocked the limbs off of others. The village of Oswego also saw damage to the area southeast of downtown to the village’s Public Works facility, Di Santo said.Aurora Emergency Management Agency Coordinator Natalie Wiza said in an email on Tuesday afternoon that the agency had received less than 50 total calls for tree debris and few reports of structure damage. Around 250 residents were still out of power at the time, she said.
