CHICAGO — National Weather Service officials said Thursday multiple tornadoes were confirmed in northeast Illinois but they still had survey teams out exploring twister touchdowns.
Multiple tornadoes tracked across parts of northeast Illinois between 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, some in proximity to one another, spawned by rotating thunderstorms known as “supercells,” officials said.
“There were two in Elgin, and another in the Burr Ridge/Cicero area,” said meteorologist Zachary Yack.
