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.

A 26-year old man was cited for improper lane usage, failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, and driving in the wrong lane after causing a three-car accident in Riverside. The man told police that he swerved to avoid a dog in the roadway and collided head-on with an elderly man in a 2003 Mitsubishi, and was then rear-ended by a 2003 Honda Accord.
