Damage from tornado in the Chicago area
2021年6月21日,星期一,一夜龙卷风穿​​过伊利诺伊州内珀维尔的地区,普林斯顿圈1800街区的一所房屋被平衡。

CHICAGO (AP) — A tornado swept through communities in heavily populated suburban Chicago, damaging more than 100 homes, toppling trees, knocking out power and causing multiple injuries, officials said.

至少有五人,包括一名处于危急状况的妇女,在内珀维尔住院,那里有16套房屋“无法居住”,当一辆龙卷风在晚上11点后坐下时,其他数十所房屋受到了损害。城市女发言人琳达·拉克洛奇(Linda Lacloche)说。

周一上午5点,在芝加哥以西约25英里(40公里)的147,500人的郊区,已收到了120多个财产损失的报告。她说,随着居民对损害进行调查,预计这些人会增长。报告了约450次停电。

“我们很幸运的情况并不更糟,”拉克洛奇周一早上说。“我们有很多公用电线杆和电线,并造成树木损坏。”

Video showed several large trees downed and damage to homes and vehicles. Some gas leaks were reported in Naperville, and crews went door to door shutting off lines, LaCloche said.

附近伍德里奇村的官员说,龙卷风损坏了至少100个建筑物。该村的消防队长说,三人被带到医院,但在周一的新闻发布会上,他无法提供有关他们受伤的更多细节。

Woodridge Police Chief Brian Cunningham said early warnings people to take shelter and likely minimized the number of injuries.

他说:“这是一个夜间活动,很多人正在睡觉,不知道发生了什么事。”“预警使人们庇护。事实是,只有三个人受伤,社区中只有毁灭性的灾难,这真是太神奇了。”暴风雨摧毁了布里奇特·凯西(Bridget Casey)的伍德里奇(Woodridge)房屋的二楼。星期一日出之前,她坐在车道上的草坪椅上。她16岁的儿子内特(Nate)说,当暴风雨席卷时,他正在看电视,他竞选他的母亲将三个年轻的兄弟姐妹带到地下室。

“I just heard a loud crash and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, what are my brothers up to?’ I go look and I see the sky, and then I hear my brothers screaming from the room,” he told the Chicago Sun-Times.

Mayor Gina Cunningham called the damage to homes and other property in the village “extensive.”

“I’m just emotional because it is devastating to drive through the community that I grew up in and worked in and share with so many wonderful neighbors,” she said.

龙卷风得到了雷达的确认,国家气象局正在派遣一个团队来调查损害并确定龙卷风的力量和道路。该机构说,一名龙卷风可能在内珀维尔,伍德里奇和达里安。

马特·弗里德林(Matt Friedlein)是伊利诺伊州罗密欧国家气象局的气象学家马特·弗里德林(Matt Friedlein)说,据信这场风暴曾经穿过内珀维尔(Naperville),伍德里奇(Woodridge)和达里安芝加哥,

“如果没有死亡人数 - 没有任何报告,那么考虑到该地区人口,损害水平和一天中的时间,即晚上11点之后,这是个好消息。伊利诺伊州罗密欧的国家气象局的气象学家马特·弗里德林(Matt Friedlein)说。

弗里德琳说,雷达还显示了芝加哥郊区其他几个地区的风暴轮流,在霍巴特和南黑文地区的印第安纳州西北部。

Severe storms also hit other parts of the Midwest. A龙卷风损坏了几座建筑物and knocked down power lines and trees in eastern Iowa on Sunday night. Gusting winds and drenching rains moved through parts of Michigan late Sunday and early Monday. And in Missouri, a thunderstorm with strong windswhipped through parts of the state,拆除树木和电线。
