Tornadoes Near Chicago Hit Suburb Killing Two
Tornadoes slammed a Chicago suburb Sunday night with at least two dead and 23 injured. Torrential rain chased by gangs struck stranded motorists as a woman, Phyllis Anderson, 51, was shot and her husband Leo, 51, wounded when they refused a gang’s demand for $10 to push their car through floodwater. The Andersons’ children were hit by flying glass as shots rang out. Police say the victims were white and assailants black, but a sergeant said the violence was opportunistic, not racially motivated. The outbreak centered on Lemont, with 75 homes damaged and residences leveled. Other twisters hit Willow Springs, Lockport, Justice, Thelamont, Lombard, Downers Grove, Naperville, Hickory Hills, and Palos Heights amid three inches of rain in Chicago. Cars submerged on the expressway affected a 48 block stretch.
