Chicago South Suburbs Hit by Derecho | Chicago News

Chicago’s south suburbs braced for a wild Tuesday as three EF-1 tornadoes tore through, packing 80 mph winds, ping-pong ball-sized hail, and flash flooding that left trees down and neighborhoods in disarray. The storm system was officially classified as a derecho—a powerful, long-lived wind storm—hitting Homewood and Tinley Park hardest. Cleanup is underway as residents assess damage from nature’s sudden fury. While the worst may be behind us, more storms loom for Wednesday, especially south and west of the city, with scattered rain and storms expected through the week.
