Strong storms Monday night knocked down trees and caused damage to homes across the Chicago area, as more rain moved through the area Tuesday morning.
Strong storms across the Chicago area knocked down trees and caused damage to homes, with more rain in the forecast for Tuesday morning.
ABC7 Accuweather Meteorologist Tracy Butler says more rain moved through the area Tuesday morning, but was unlikely to become severe. The rain tapered down through the morning commute and came to an end in the mid-morning.Over in Evanston, a branch from a large tree fell and completely blocked Central Street and a resident actually heard it come crashing.
"I heard a crack and I thought it was a branch from our tree," resident Amy Malquam said. "I look outside and I saw branches sticking up, but it was hard to see with the light on, so I went outside and I saw a huge trunk in the middle of the street."Crews said electricity from that transformer traveled underground and blew a hole in the wall of a home.
The people living there said they heard a large boom, lost power and then found that hole in their basement wall. Thankfully they were not hurt.'THIS IS ONLY A TEST': Statewide tornado drill happening today
