The National Weather Service has confirmed at least five tornadoes touched down Monday night in the Chicago area, with at least 10 reported in total. The storms caused widespread power outages and downed trees, leaving many residents without power and struggling with cleanup efforts.
In addition to the tornadoes in Iowa and Illinois, another tornado was reported near Sugar Grove, Ohio.
