Tornadoes in February? In the Great Lakes? Storms leave a trail of destruction

 

February 28, 2024 at 9:55 am EST

 

Severe thunderstorms with large hail and several possible rare winter tornadoes toppled trees, cut power and damaged homes in the Chicago area and other parts of the Great Lakes into Wednesday morning.

 

In Grand Blanc Township, Michigan, near Flint, a possible tornado knocked down trees and damaged homes and gas lines shortly after midnight, but no one was hurt, officials said. Authorities helped move several residents to the firehouse and said they could return home once leaks were repaired.

 

In Geneva, in Chicago’s western suburbs, storms Tuesday evening uprooted trees and left some homes with broken windows and shorn-off doors, said Fire Chief Mike Antenore.
