| episode_narrative | Strong thunderstorms, some supercells, developed over northeast Illinois from early afternoon through early evening in a very unstable airmass. The first storm pounded Kankakee county with hail up to golfball size. Other storms quickly developed in northern Cook, and in McHenry and Lake counties. Golfball size hail hit the areas of Buffalo Grove, Wheeling, and Deerfield along Lake-Cook Road. The hail damaged police cars and cracked the windshield of a vehicle in Wheeling. A car was dented in Deerfield. This storm also blew down tree limbs in Deerfield. Another storm in Ottawa in LaSalle county produced hail the size of golfballs, injuring a person at Chambers and Glover Streets. 60 mph winds in and near Ottawa damaged corn crops and blew tree limbs down on the road. A bolt of lightning struck a tree in Ottawa causing the tree to fall onto a fence and pool which were damaged. A storm dropped hail in southern Grundy and southwest Will counties. Hail damaged crops from north and east of Kinsman to just west of Verona, just east of Mazon, north and east of Gardner, and north of Morris in Grundy county. Trees, large limbs and power lines were blown down in Gardner. Hail also fell from near Wilmington in Will county into Kankakee county near Essex. Another storm in northern Will county dropped hail up to 1.25 inches in diameter from the far west side of Joliet and Plainfiled near Drauden and Caton Farm, across I-55 and Route 30, to I-55 and Weber Road in Romeoville and Bolingbrook. This storm also caused tree damage in Lemont in Cook county. Later in the afternoon a storm dropped hail 1 to 2 inches in diameter across DuPage county.
