| episode_narrative | A line of severe thunderstorms developed during the early afternoon, stretching from just west of Rockford southwestward to near Quincy, IL. These storms moved east-northeast at 40 to 45 MPH during the course of the afternoon, with several communities reporting heavy rains, dangerous lightning, strong winds and widespread hail. In the town of Wilmette the McKenzie Elementary School's entire first floor was flooded when 2.75 inches of rain fell in a very short time. School was canceled the next day due to cleanup. In Berwyn very heavy rains caused urban flooding throughout the community with all major intersections under water for nearly four hours. Lightning struck a newer home in Kildeer, causing considerable fire damage. The strong winds tore down many trees and power lines across northern Illinois during the afternoon, and by 5:00 PM the Winnebago County Athorities reported that nearly 35,000 ComEd customers were without power, with some not being restored until the following morning. During the course of the afternoon pea size hail and winds gusting to 40 to 50 MPH were reported throughout northern Illinois. |
