The Prairie State could soon be known as the tornado state. So far this year, Illinois has seen the most tornadoes in the United States, and the most severe weather events.
"The devastation here is unbelievable. It’s one of those things you don’t expect it in your neighborhood," one Woodridge resident said at the time.
The roof of the historic Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois collapsed Friday night as severe weather swept through the Chicago area, killing one person and injuring dozens of others. "They acted quickly to remove debris from people, because people were trapped under debris," said Dan Zaccard, Boone County emergency management director.
"There’s more assets for these storms to hit. So as we go forward over the next 50 to 100 years, we will see, regardless of climate change, more and more tornado disasters because of this increase in the human footprint, in the human-built environment," he said.The cleanup began on Saturday after a tornado ripped the roof off the Apollo Theater in Belvidere, Illinois. One person was killed and dozens of others injured.
"One of the biggest things people can do right off the bat is look at their garage door," said University of Illinois climate specialist Duane Friend. "The garage is one of the most susceptible areas on a house." "The roof would be the second thing that can go, and what will happen with the garage, as the garage fills up with air and that pressure increases, that’s when the roof on the garage goes off," Friend said.
