Large late-night tornado sweeps through some Chicago suburbs

A large tornado swept through suburbs southwest of Chicago late Sunday night, causing numerous injuries, damaging several homes and vehicles, bringing down trees and power lines and leaving tens of thousands of homes and businesses without electricity.

Naperville Fire Chief Mark Puknaitis said about a dozen homes were damaged by wind and falling trees, CBS Chicago reported. Six people were injured, and four of them were brought to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries. Tree limbs and debris were strewn about and windows were broken on many structures. There were no fires, but there were gas line breaks.
