Another wave of heavy rain, hailstones as large as baseballs, and 70 mph wind gusts struck the Chicago area this morning. Trees and powerlines have been downed, damaging properties and leaving thousands without electricity.
A tractor-trailer was flipped by 70 mph gusts and hundreds of other vehicles and buildings damaged by hailstones. For the most part, injuries have been avoided, although one person was reported hurt in Crystal Lake.
