A massive storm and at least one tornado ripped through the Chicago suburbs late Sunday night, injuring at least five people and damaging more than 100 homes.
The line of severe storms will continue to track east Monday, with the strongest storms expected in late afternoon and evening from southern Ohio and West Virginia to Maine. The slight risk of severe storms in this area extends east to Washington, DC, Baltimore and Pittsburgh. Some 30 miles west of Chicago, about 130 homes in Naperville, Illinois, were damaged late Sunday and about 10 families were displaced, city Fire Chief Mark Puknaitis said.
