An intense line of destructive thunderstorms known as a derecho wreaked havoc across the central United States on Thursday with hurricane-force winds and possible tornadoes.
Multiple tractor-trailers were blown over on Interstate 57 near Tuscola, Illinois, located about 140 miles south of Chicago. Illinois State Police were on the scene, but it was unclear if there were any injuries. The storms raced across Illinois at 70 mph, faster than some vehicles on the highway.
