At least four tornadoes, including one that destroyed an apartment building and caused considerable tree and power line damage in Kankakee County, touched down during Friday’s outbreak of severe weather, according to officials with the National Weather Service.
As the tornado crossed across the DuPage River, it intensified and snapped trees and caused structural damage, according to officials. It also crossed Interstate 55 near exit 251 and continued to cause sporadic tree damage as it entered Joliet, impacting the Joliet Junior College campus.
A second tornado also touched down near Minooka during that storm, moving approximately five miles until it approached Channahon. The tornado was an EF-0, with peak winds of 85 miles per hour according to estimates. A second tornado was reported in Kankakee County, including an EF-0 that traveled six miles through the city of Kankakee.
The church then produced concentrated tree damage along Springview Drive before it moved into the Pioneer Park area near the Kankakee River.
