Tornado Touches Down In Chicago Suburbs

The National Weather Service says a large tornado is moving across Chicago's southern suburbs.

The twister was on the ground Saturday evening between the towns of Richton Park and University Park and was moving northeast. It touched down at 6:04 p.m. and was moving at 26 miles per hour in a northeast direction, according to the National Weather Service.

Will County Sheriff's Department spokesman Pat Barry says the slow-moving tornado damaged several homes in the Wilmington area and toppled trees and power lines. The tornado passed through a beach on a private lake in Wilmington.
